Today is Earth Day, and a lot of people are choosing to leave their cars at home and bike to work this week in honor of our Mother Earth. Maybe all of the biking this week will encourage people to bike to work on a more regular basis. It saves fuel, reduces pollution, encourages a healthy active lifestyle, and it’s fun! When I first got started riding my bike I loved to take it on trips as well. I had to purchase a hitch bike rack to make travel much easier with my bike. It was a worthwhile investment in my opinion.
