Are you ready for Bike Month? Shockingly enough… it’s already here! (Where did April go??)
There’s some great local activities being lined up to celebrate this annual event. The biggest one, of course, is Bike to Work Day on May 17th. This year, DART is leading the charge to provide some handy recharge stations all the way from Plano to downtown Dallas.
Along with Bike to Work Day, May also kicks off the National Bike Challenge. Log your miles from May to September as part of a team (there’s lots of local teams!) and compete for various prizes throughout the summer. To see more about all of that, check out the National Bike Challenge website.
