May is National Bike Month and The League of American Bicyclists is promoting Bike to Work Week from May 11-15. If you haven't gotten the chance to participate yet this week, try it out tomorrow, Bike to Work Day. If you don't typically ride your bike to work, now is the perfect opportunity to swap four wheels for two — the weather is warm and clear, and you'll be amongst fellow commuters using their bikes for transportation.
If you've been participating, let us know how your experience has been after the jump...
We did this in Spring here in Australia (late last year). I got convinced by a friend to give it a go, and while I seriously exhausted myself by doing it due to choosing a bad route and general unfitness, it was the start of making this change for every day. Since then I use my bike almost every day. I found it was a lot easier and safer than I expected, and it's encouraging to see more and more people out there cycling each time I go.
