May is National Bike Month 2016

May is National Bike Month, where each year the focus is to get more people out on bikes as a mode of transportation. This is good for everyone’s health, the environment, and a way to make more out of your trip to school or work. There are a couple of special days during the month to really encourage leaving your car in the garage and biking or walking to your destinations. The first is Bike To School Day, which is Wednesday, May 4 this year. Students are encouraged to go to school car-free that day by walking, biking, scooter, etc. This year’s Walk ‘N Roll event is co-sponsored by BikeWalkSolana and the Solana Beach PTA. The second event on Friday, May 20 is San Diego’s Bike To Work Day. There will be several pit stops throughout the county, where commuting cyclists can stop for refreshment, nourishment, and other goodies. Details for all local events can be found on SANDAG’s iCommute Bike Month page. Enjoy commuting to work and remember: “Every day is a bike to work day.”
