If you’re headed out the door
And you live by work or the store
Leave your car keys behind
Take your bike out and explore
 

Reinventing the Wheel

• The next time you head out to your favorite neighborhood shopping center, dust off the wheels to your beach cruiser and take it out for a little spin. Often overlooked, the bicycle is the perfect accessory for running quick errands without having to rev an engine.
• If you live close enough, try riding a bike to work. You’ll zip by everyone stuck in traffic and can save your gasoline for a weekend road trip
• In addition to being gas-free and good for the environment, cycling is a quick and fun way to cut some extra calories without burning a hole in your wallet.
