Is now the best time to get yourself a bike?
Riding a bike is an amazing way to stay in good health, but also to offset your carbon footprint. Replace car trips with riding a bike! Car transportation is one of the biggest offenders of fossil fuel emissions, unless you have an EV. Finding other modes of transportation can be a great, fun way to reduce your impact!
Picking out a bike may feel a bit overwhelming, but there are some great resources out there, including many local bike shops who are always willing to help. The fall season is a great time to be shopping for one, as bicycle universe explains in this article! And many shops are now having fall sales. Support your Local Bike Shop!
If purchasing a new bike is not in your budget, considering a used one can be a less expensive and a more sustainable option. There are many available on facebook marketplace or craigslist - just make sure you know your size and test ride them before purchasing!
