Safe Routes to Work

Have you noticed? More people seem to be riding their bicycles around town these days. Maybe it's the price of gas; maybe it's the summer weather; or maybe people are just rediscovering the joys of two-wheeled transportation.

We here at the Coalition believe that a bicycle is a great way to get around; not only for recreation, but for grocery shopping, errand running, exercise getting, and commuting too. Sometimes, when you start something new, it can seem daunting. But riding your bike to work might be easier than you imagine. And the early hours before work might be some of the freshest, coolest hours you're going to get around here, this time of year.

If you would like help designing a route that get's you from A to B as cheerfully as possible, let us know. We have a supercomputer in the basement ready to crunch the numbers and come up with a lovely custom map just for you. Or try a route off the rack. With just a bit of tailoring it might be just what you need.

Here is the route I took to work this morning. It was a lovely ride.
