Bike commuting provides benefits to commuters, employers and the community as a whole.

Commuters can be healthier, save on transportation expenses and enjoy the trip to and from work. Employers benefit by having healthier, happier employees and lower health care costs. And, the community benefits from less vehicle traffic, less pollution and a healthier population.
