I'm amazed that Bike Month will be here on Friday. Time sure does fly by. In fact, I think that is why so many of us never seem to do the things we want to accomplish, like riding a bike to work. It takes time, and an ouncee or two of courage to change things up from the regular routine. For example, a few weeks ago I had to drive into work because I was delivering a bunch of stuff for our outreach events. I usually ride my bike, so this was somewhat of a rare experience for me. I didn't realize how much time it takes to drive, mostly to find parking and to take major roads. Also, it took a little bit of courage to parallel park and hustle my way through morning traffic. In this case, I realized that many have the opposite dilemma. Riding a bike to work for the first time can be somewhat unnerving! It is not until we have done things a few times that we feel a knack for it and it becomes easy.
This is why I'd like to encourage you, if you don't already, to ride your bike to work. Try it at least a couple times to get a good feel for it. There is not better time than the present. Also, with Bike Month around the corner, you could win prizes and get your team closer to the Commuter Bike Challenge Grand Prize by riding.
For those of you who already ride, I think Bike Month is the perfect time to spread bike love. Wave to fellow bikers (if you need tips, watch our corny Bike Month commercial or view the picture below) and be friendly to drivers.

It's time to celebrate bikes, and more importantly, responsible mobility. There's no better time than the present!
