Bike to Work Week
- Contact Chad Taniguchi at chad@hbl.org 255-8271 if you want to help make this year the best ever for bike commuting on Oahu by getting your workplace involved, by encouraging more commuter mentors (http://www.hbl.org/oahu-commutes) and by publicizing this week. Parade Magazine recently noted that if you want to save $10,000 this year, the biggest way to do that is to ride a bicycle -- it will save you about $4,000 over a year. Can you use an extra $4,000 while getting in the greatest shape of your life, feeling more independent, and saving the environment?
