If you're like many of us, finding time to exercise can seem impossible.
But one way to fit in exercise is to walk or bike to work. And what better day to try that than tomorrow, Baltimore's Bike-to-Work Day?
Biking is a low-impact activity that's especially great for anyone with bad knees. It's a way to burn off those calories: a 150-lb person can expect to burn 300 calories in a half hour by biking between 12-14 mph. Biking to work also saves you money on gas and car maintenance, plus saves you money on parking. By biking to work, you are also cutting back on pollution and being environmentally responsible.
Tomorrow is a great day to start a new commitment to biking to work. Remember to wear a helmet and layer your clothes. Morning celebrations for Bike-To-Work Day will be at:
