It’s Bike to Work Month and Day!

Posted by Filmed by Bike

May is Bike to Work Month in many places, and Friday, May 18 is Bike to Work Day.

We love how these events spark a conversation about riding bikes. Those of us who ride regularly have a the awesome responsibility and honor of sharing our wisdom with people whose interest is piqued!

How You Can Help Spread the Love of Biking

  • Use common language and approachable terms.
  • Forget about the complex details (unless someone specifically asks). Instead, keep it simple.
  • Keep your tone positive and get people excited!
  • Safety is important, but a lot of that can come from common sense. Instead of focusing on the danger zone, keep your tone light and focus on the most vital and helpful tips.
  • What are those most helpful tips? We like topics like how to find a good route, how to decide what style of bike is right for you, what to wear in cold/rain/to a meeting, what fun events are happening, etc.
