Ken Klos 10/24/2018 8:46 AMBiking to work on weekdays and for errands on the weekends is a habit for me - I do it without encouragement of any "challenge". It will be a great time when people ride because it's the right and good thing to do. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Go by BikeHow do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?
Ken Klos 10/23/2018 2:24 PMRiding wakes me up before arriving at work. I do not pick up colds from public transit and I do not worry about messy traffic on my way - even with the bike lanes fully utilized, there are never traffic jams
