Got Bike?



On Friday, May 15th, curb the car and hop on your bike!

The Planning Commission has teamed up with several organizations and has issued a challenge to employers in Sangamon County to encourage employees to leave their cars at home on Bike to Work Day, May 15, 2009 and instead bike, walk, run, or take the bus to work. The commute time is a great opportunity to get exercise, save some money, and reduce negative impacts on the environment.

Bikers can stop by Grab-A-Java (1702 S. 6th St. or 3115 Hedley Rd.) to cool down at one of their water stations and pick up a coupon for a free cup of coffee. Cafe Moxo (411 E. Adams) will also be offering a free cookie to anyone biking to work who brings their helmet into the restaurant with them.

The above website lists a great review on how to plan your route, how to dress, biking etiquette, biking safety, biking rules of the road, and much more.
