Who knew you could name a national holiday to honor the lack of carbon emissions for the transport to your home away from home?
Well, now you do! Today, May 21, 2010 is National Bike to Work Day! The League of American Bicyclists and GreenThinkingBlog, urge you to try this – if not today, someday. And if not work, somewhere else. Personally, if I rode my bike to work I would be riding for approximately 6 hours round trip, and therefore be unable to work 
So – I have chosen to ride my bike to the grocery store and our local watering hole instead of that trek.
When you do take up this momentus feat, be sure to do it safely. WikiHow offers some great trips to ride your bike safe. From techinical bike equipment checks, to reflective clothing, road rules, and everything in between! Riding your bike is great exercise, but it also promotes a very green way to travel. The less gas emissions that go out into the world, the longer we get to keep the Earth.
Happy Bike to Work Day readers!

My trek to work would be easily bikeable but getting to work looking fresh and ready in the Florida summer? I don’t think so – especially considering that there are no longer going to be lockers and showers available for us peons.
