Now that my boy is riding a bike without training wheels, we are already thinking of his next bike.  Unfortunately, there is not enough bike lanes in most American cities.  Riding a bike is a great form of exercise.  Also, studies have shown that by riding a bike to work instead of driving a car, you can save up to $500 in gasoline costs per year.  That is a lot of money.  Also, it reduces the amount of air pollution associated with driving cars as well.  


The following is a great not for profit organization that is raising a strong grass roots movement in advocating for more bike lanes and bike friendly laws.  Please visit this website for more information, www.peopleforbikes.org.
