Bike to Work Day

Biking one day a week can make a difference. Studies show on average for each gallon of gas your car burns, it releases about 19 pounds of carbon dioxide. Here is a link to an article on how that is possible. www.carbonrally.com/challenges/34-commuter-bike. Bike safely and wear a bicycle safety helmet.
