Aaron Crandall: Bike to work next week

Letter to the editor  —  5/10/2008 7:20 am

Dear Editor: Remember, next week is Bike to Work Week! Events are planned throughout Wisconsin starting Monday, May 12. In Madison, there's a full lineup of events, including a "final fiesta" at Vilas Park on Friday, May 16.

Bike to Work Week is brought to you by the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin. In order to attend all the events and for the Bike Federation to have some idea of how many folks participated, you're encouraged to visit www.bfw.org and register, if you're planning to try biking to work next week.

Biking is easier than you think. All you need is a bike and a "can do" attitude. Just think of the benefits, including, but not limited to, good exercise, helping the environment, and of course, saving money! Try it for a day, two days, or the entire week. Give it a try! Safe cycling.

Aaron Crandall
