Well, National Bike Month is over. Thanks to everyone who participated in our bicycling challenge. Grand Total for the Month of May: 2,466 miles! That’s considerably more than last year. Way to go everyone!
If the average car gets 25 mpg, that’s 98.6 gallons of gasoline not burned, and the equivalent to saving roughly 1873 pounds of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere due to car commuting! Even though National Bike Month is over, don’t lose momentum- keep on pedaling!!
