Smile File-National Bike Month

May is National Bike Month!!!

I started riding my bike into work last year and it’s the best thing ever! Save time, save money, I’m spared the crowd and smell of the subway commute :).

See that cool kid!? He’s cool b/c he’s wearing a HELMET!!!

See I’m cool too!

Now you might think that New York is a little dangerous to ride your bike to work and I completely see why you would think this but really with all the bike lanes, green lanes, and the help of Ride the City, it’s actually not bad.

See New York <3’s riding.

That bicycle parking is right by my job in Soho, pretty cool.

We even have bikes at BestBuy!?

I took this at the BestBuy in Union Square last summer…I was shocked to see I could buy a new bike and a new external drive at the same place! Ha! See we like biking here :).

If you’re in NY there is a great list of Bike Month events here and there’s also a pretty rad one for Sacramento here. Wow Sacramento! You are having a Bike Film Festival?! Jealous!!!

If your city celebrates Bike Month add events and see events HERE!

Yay for Bike Month!

    i love the idea of riding bikes more often, especially riding them to work. unfortunately, i don’t live close enough to ride a bike to work…and it’s super hot out here–by the time i got to work i’d be full of sweat…not a good look.

    but i still love that it’s national bike month. is that first photo for real?

    I’m too afraid to ride my bike in the city, but I’m very glad to hear you wear a helmet. I don’t understand all these hipsters who don’t. I’m going to make a great nagging mother someday.
