Bike To Work Week 2017

This years National Bike To Work Week is May 15-19 and National Bike To Work Day is Friday May 19th.

This year I joined Jay Watson of the D&R Greenway Land Trust and several partnering organizations including Trenton Cycling Revolution and NJ Partnership for Healthy Kids to distribute cards in English and Spanish to encourage biking safety.

Have a listen to my chat with Jay captured at Trenton City Hall one of the distribution sites.

I spent most of my time at the Trenton Transit Station where I met several people who were riding.   Not everyone was wearing a helmet, some were riding on the sidewalks, most of the bikes were newer and in good condition, most didn't know about riding with the traffic and obeying traffic laws.
