STAR BIKE RIDER
“It's a wonderful way to start and end your day, by riding a bike! Building your daily exercise into your commute is a great way to stay healthy. Riding a bike to work allows you to explore areas that you wouldn't in a car because you're not always riding on the main arterials. I take the side streets when I ride and really feel like I've gotten to know my community better.” — Naomi W.
