Today is National Bike-to-Work Day

Paul Heymont 5/15/159:12 AM

May is National Bike Month, and today's special event is Bike-to-Work Day, when everyone is encouraged to give two-wheeling a try, in hopes of increasing bicycle commuting, according to the League of American Bicyclists. For more information on specific events for Bike Month and Bike-to-Work, click HERE

Bicycling, and especially bicycle commuting have stirred a lot of interest in recent years, both for environmental and personal health reasons, so interest in bicycle history is high as well, and the Smithsonian has a new exhibit on bicycle innovation opening July 1st as part of a major exhibit on innovation. The exhibit traces America's interest in bicycles starting from the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. More HERE.
