Tuesday Video: Are you bike-curious?
45 million Americans are and Oregon Congressman Earl Blumenauer says you might be as well. According to Grist, the “Portland politician is pedaling bi-opportunities left and right: bipartisanship, bipeds, and bicycling.” Ha. His point stands though: Commuting two to three miles by bike takes about 15 minute and over the course of an hour, a 130-pound cyclist burns 402 calories and an 180-pound cyclist burns 540 calories when pedaling 14 miles per hour.
You can take the bike-curious pledge and if you’re unsure you can find out what kind of bike-curious you are.
