Prairie Cycle Club – Bicycle Club for Champaign County, Illinois

BIKE To Work Week
May 14-18

This week is U.S. Bike to Work Week, culminating in Bike to Work Day on Friday May 18.
Local coffee shops are offering Bicycle Commuter Discounts Friday!
The League of American Bicyclists offers a few reasons why cycle commuting is a good idea:

* Three hours of riding per week can cut the risk of heart disease and stroke by half.
* Maintaining a car for a year costs more than $3000 dollars, compared to less than $300 for a bike.
* Our use of motorized vehicles contributes to 70% of all carbon monoxide emissions, 45% of nitrous oxide and 34% of hydrocarbons
Join thousands of commuters across the state and the nation May 14-18 for a clean and healthy commute on your bicycle. Pick the best day for your schedule and weather, or ride all week!

Friday May 18 is Bike to Work Day. As a treat on Friday, ask the following locations for their Bike Commuter Discount on coffee drinks on Friday May 18:

* Espresso Royale (1117 W. Oregon, Urb.)
* Strawberry Fields (306 W. Springfield, Urb.)
* Uncommon Grounds (1 Lincoln Square, Urb.)
* And Starbucks, too!
