Get on 2-Wheels & Celebrate May as Bike Month

May is officially Bike month, and we’re ready for some two-wheeled action!  Philadelphia’s the #1 bike-commuting city and the bicycling rates keep rising, so we’re in the PERFECT city to celebrate! How can you celebrate this joyous occasion?

Still trying to convince your friend/dad/neighbor/girlfriend/colleague/boyfriend to switch to the biking lifestyle? If Americans switched to a bike for just one four-mile round trip journey per week, we’d collectively save 2 BILLION gallons of gas. Next, check how to get started buying a bike.
