May is National Bike Month!

May is National Bike Month!  Click here for more information from the League of American Bicyclists.  There are many reasons to choose a bike over riding in a car:
  • Saves money on gas
  • Saves the environment
  • Good for your health
  • Fun to explore your neighborhood
So put down your phone/iPod/iPad, get outside, and ride your bike!
