Did you know?

Author: Dustin Posted: 2010-07-04

When I was in a bike shop a few weeks ago, I saw a standing sign made by Trek, which was interesting.

Of course we all know that biking is good for your health and for the environment.. no surprise there.. BUT did you know HOW good it was?

Check out these stats:

* Just 3 hours of biking per week can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%

* If you bike 4 miles round trip each day instea of driving, you wills ave about 66 gallons of fuel per year.

* That same daily trip will burn 36,000 calories per year - that is the equivalent of over 10lbs of fat.

* 40 % of all trips are within two miles ofthe home.

* You can park 14 bikes in the same space you park one car.

* The US could save 462 million gallons of gasoline a year by increasing cycling form 1 to 1.5% of all trips.
