Why Bike?
Burning calories instead of gas biking by biking is good for your waistline and your wallet. You don’t need a lot of special equipment—even with just a bike, a lock, helmet and light you’re ready to go. Inexpensive family biking gear is available now more than ever, making it easy to get the whole family to enjoy the benefits of biking.
Five reasons to bike commute instead of drive:
- Riding at a moderate speed—about 12 to 14 miles per hour—burns about 235 calories per half hour.
- The average person loses 13 pounds their first year of commuting by bike.
- 40% of all car trips in the U.S. are made within 2 miles of home.
- 60% of the pollution created by autos happens in the first few minutes of operation, before pollution control devices can work effectively.
- The U.S. could save 462 million gallons of gas a year by boosting bicycle trips just half a percentage point: from 1% to 1.5% of all trips.
