May is National Bike Month!

Bicycling is an excellent way to exercise, to be "green" and best of all, it's a great way for family and friends to enjoy quality time together. May is National Bike Month. Please show your support. Here are some ways that you can celebrate:

Bike-to-Work Week is May 11-15. Ride your Buddy Bike to work or school.
Bike-to-Work day is May 15. Join the nation and ride to work or school.
Participate in a Bike Month celebration in your area. Bike Month Special Events by League of American Bicyclists.
Learn more about bikes and biking.
Decorate your bike and go for a ride. Get ideas.
Take a picture or video of you riding your Buddy Bike and send it to us at shelley@buddybike.com or post it at our Facebook page. Please wear helmets!
Teach someone to ride a bike or ride with someone new on your Buddy Bike.

Looking for more ideas, the League of American Bicyclists has published 50 ways every citizen can celebrate. It was published in 2006 but the ideas are still great! And if you want to plan an event in your area, check out the League's Getting Started Guide. eHow.com also has some really good information.

If you are in South Florida, please join us for the last Bike Miami Days event of the season on Sunday, May 17. No registration is required. There aren't any start or end points. Just bring your wheels, your feet and your family to enjoy a day of FREE family activities on the closed streets of Downtown Miami.

Bring your Buddy Bike to enjoy cruising the streets of Downtown or visit the Buddy Bike Booth at Mary Brickell Village to for a FREE 30-minute Buddy Bike rental.

Happy Bike Month!
