Thinking of Biking to Work?



Thinking about biking to work, especially now that a gallon of regular gasoline costs about $4?  Bike Pittsburgh and the Downtown YMCA have a bike commuting forum for you.

The forum, free and open to the public, will be held from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday in the YMCA's Community Room that overlooks Market Square. Enter from the YMCA's Fifth Avenue entrance.
The event, a prelude to Car Free Fridays and Bike to Work Day (May 20), is designed to answer questions about bike commuting and glean information from veteran cyclists.

Bike Pittsburgh also is asking community leaders to celebrate Bike to Work Day by helping to promote bike pools. They have found that one of the main reasons people don't bike to work is because they don't feel safe on the roads.  Riding with others is a good option because it's especially comforting to new and inexperienced riders.
