TODAY (Friday): City of Wilmington Bike-to-Work Day 2013

The City of Wilmington, Bike Wilmington and its supporters/sponsors are proud to hold the third annual Bike-to-Work Day (May 17th). Bike-to-Work Day is a National event spearheaded by the League of American Bicyclists and is part of the larger Bike Month (May). There are many benefits relating to riding to work including better air quality by reducing greenhouse gas emitting cars while benefiting the rider by promoting good health, the result of exercise.
Don’t forget that riding a bike is a fun and enjoyable activity and can be a stress reliever.
