Biking to work is a fun way to stay active, save money, and care for our planet. This change to your everyday commute can contribute to moving the needle in HUGE ways. The members of RTC\u2019s Club Ride Commuter Services program reduce 1 lb. of greenhouse gas per mile by biking to and from work or school!<\/p>\r\n

\"\"Here\u2019s why you should #bikethere, as well as a few tips to get started!<\/p>\r\n

Reduce your carbon footprint <\/strong><\/p>\r\n

As Southern Nevada roadways get more congested, it is our responsibility to look for innovative ways to make commuting less of a drag. Choosing to bike not only helps the environment, but also clears our roadways!<\/p>\r\n

Move your body, shape your future<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Investing time in moderate exercise benefits your physical AND mental health. Have you ever thought, \u201cWow, that\u2019s exactly what I needed!\u201d after a nice workout? Biking is also linked to better gut, heart, and brain health<\/a>!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Let\u2019s hit the streets!<\/p>\r\n

Practice your route<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Give yourself time a few days prior to get familiar with the route you want to take. Is there a safer way to go with more bike lanes? Is there a quicker way to go with less interruptions? Know these things beforehand.<\/p>\r\n

Light up the way <\/strong><\/p>\r\n

For our night riders, try to wear bright\/reflective clothing and make sure your bike has lighting! Having a bell on your bike is also helpful to ensure your surroundings are aware of you.<\/p>\r\n

Lower the intensity <\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Avoid getting to your destination sweaty by biking on a lower intensity and carrying a few items to freshen up. Remember, it is best to start your route feeling more on the cool side because you\u2019re going to heat up!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
