Ride A Bike
Biking is a great way to get around, especially for short trips. With a basket or saddlebag, they could even allow you to skip the car altogether.
Newer options like folding bikes, electric bikes, and bike share programs make biking a great option for getting around!
Bike Share Programs Bike share programs offer an easy way to travel to work or explore the city without relying on fossil fuels.
Purchase A Bike Pretty straightforward, but can be pricey.

Why It Matters
Nearly 60% of trips in the United States are less than 6 miles. And nearly 80% of all trips are less than 10 miles. That is well within the range of nearly every ebike on the market today.
By choosing to bike instead of drive a fossil fuel powered vehicle, you're not only saving on fuel, but not contributing to global warming.
