Happy Bike Month

For most of the country and locations across the globe, the month of May is the bridge between spring and summer - unless you live in Jackson, WY where May (at least this year) just means more winter and snow!

Hence, May is national bike month and the time to pull-out the bikes from the depths of the  garage and basement (or just buck up and buy a new rig to replace that beater of yours) and start pedaling. Not only does biking to work, the grocery store, your kids soccer game, the movies, help transport four-legged friends or the local pub promote fun and exercise, it keeps you away from the pump - which your wallet will smile at you about. Considering that gas prices have soared over $4.00 a gallon recently, riding your bike will also let you save some extra coin for that long awaited trip to Hawaii or the Maldives you've always been pushing off.

So, Bike-to-Work Week is from May 12-16 and Bike-to-Work Day is on Friday May 16. Keep the car in the driveway for a day, or week, and see how it feels. I bet you'll like it.

And, back to that beater of yours ... why not hop on an AfricaBike for size. A new set of stylish wheels for the season and the chance to contribute to a noble cause. A no-brainer, really!
