It’s easy to get started and to find a buddy to ride with. Whether you want to bike to work on a regular basis or only on occasion, make your bike commute easier by considering the following tips before you get started.

Call one of the Bike to Work Buddies in your town. Ask them to ride along with you on your first trip. There are several DEP employees on the list. Fun Fridays!
