Ryan Birkicht, Communications Director for the organization People for Bikes www.peopleforbikes.org joins us to talk about Bike Month and Bike to Work Week. He's got some great advice on how to engage employees and others in the world of commuting and all the great things riding a bike can bring you whether you ride to work, the store, a coffee shop, with a group of friends or wherever your wheels take you! People for Bikes are champions of the belief that the simple bicycle can contribute significantly to healthier, happier and more sustainable communities nationwide. Your organization can get involved right now at www.peopleforbikes.org or personally at www.foundation.peopleforbikes.org.
