Get on your bikes and ride!

Bike to Work Day is a tradition in much of the U.S. and Canada to promote commuting by bicycle. From the BTWD website: Most of the country celebrates Bike to Work Day in May, but due to Colorado’s mountain communities and unpredictable weather, the state legislature declared June as Colorado Bike Month, with the fourth Wednesday of the month being Bike to Work Day.

Here are some cycling photos to motivate you!
