Bay Area’s Bike to Work Day

Posted on 14. May, 2009 by Cheryl in Commute, Health and Fitness

I had every intention to bike to work today, but ended up taking my usual N-Judah instead. Why? I blame the weather. (I know it is sunny and beautiful right now, but I promise, it was crappola this morning!)

I’ve heard people talk about it. But have never seen it or experienced it for myself. Until today.

With all the health-conscious, public transit using, work-out enthusiasts that live in San Francisco, it comes as no surprise that San Francisco is ranked number one as the fittest city in America.
