For the last 50 years the League of American Cyclists has been celebrating National Bike Month. This wonderful event brings out great inspiration and motivation for everyone to get out cycling, especially as the weather gets better too. Bikes rides and events, promoting safety, and Share the Road campaigns all aim to celebrate cycling across the nation, all supporting cleaner, healthier living.

And this month is even better than ever. The League of American Cyclists is actively promoting Ride-to-Work Week during the month. Between the 11th and 15th of May, the League is asking people to celebrate and join the fun by commuting to work.  If you can't participate by cycling to work for the whole week, don’t worry, Friday the 15th is National Bike-to-Work Day.
