Need to get some exercise and burn some calories? Reduce your carbon footprint and stress? Save money? Voilá: your bike is the answer to all your needs. With a level of commitment to suit any cyclist, we give you Bike to Work Day/Week/Month.

While much of the world sees bicycles as everyday transportation and a sensible resource, many in the U.S. merely identify cycling with leisure or exercise. To help encourage a change in perception, many cities around the nation are organizing Bike to Work activities with Energizer Stations to help promote cycling as a legit commuting alternative. And if you do make the commitment and sign up for the event, you can even map your ride to see just how great your accomplishment is.

Now if you don't yet have a bike, that conundrum can be easily resolved. From top-of-the-line road bikes to urban hipster fixies, beach cruisers, folding bikes, and even electric bikes, there's a bike out there to suit your needs (not to mention a trailer). So really, there isn't any good reason not to get on out there and ride your bicycle -- anywhere you like!
