National Bike to Work Week. With gas prices being what they are this is sounding more and more like a better idea, isn't it? Save some gas. Put on your helmet and hit the roads. Work to far? How about riding your bike to the convenience store to pick up that forgotten item, or drop off/pick up a video, or some other errand.
