72: Bike to work by ihough

Every time you complete this action, you will reduce emissions by an estimated 25 lbs. CO₂e.

Biking is good exercise, saves money on gas, and reduces your carbon footprint. It’s faster than walking, and you never have the hassle of trying to find a parking space. Just remember to wear a helmet, and get lights and reflective strips if you’ll be on the roads after dark.

If you’re going far, ride to the bus or train station — some transit systems even let you take your bike with you.

Be sure to check out the League of American Bicyclists — they’ve got lots of great resources, including safety and education materials, directories of bike clubs and events around the country, and tools for helping build a more bike-friendly America.
