This week marks National Bike to Work Week, and here in Decatur, we’re proud to support a culture of active transportation, sustainability, and community well-being. Whether you’re a daily bike commuter or just curious about leaving the car at home, this is the perfect time to give cycling a spin.
Why Bike to Work?
Cycling to work isn’t just a great way to start the day—it’s a small action with big impact. Choosing to bike instead of drive helps reduce traffic congestion, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improve your physical and mental health. It’s an eco-friendly commute that energizes you before your day even begins.
