Bike to Work

Did you know that hundreds of thousands of people in the United States bike to work by bicycle? That is according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That’s a lot of cars off the road each day. Also a lot of gasoline is saved and a ton of calories burned.

Maybe you’re one of Spartanburg’s bicycle commuters already — or maybe you want to give it a try. These tips from the League of American Bicyclists and other organizations will help you prepare for the challenges you’ll face on your way to work. (We’ve included a few tips for drivers, too.)

Bonus tips for drivers: Stay on the lookout for cyclists. When you see them, be patient — they have a right to the road, too. If you park on the street, check behind you before opening doors. And, always remember that your significant size and speed advantage can be deadly in an accident. Remember, one day you may bike commute.

Cars and bicycles can, in fact, peacefully coexist on the roads. All it takes is a little preparation and a lot of awareness, along with some understanding thrown in for good measure.
