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.

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.
