Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

I love this photo of a billboard.

It reads:

You are not stuck in traffic.

You are traffic.

Get a bike. Break free!

I’ve talked about riding my bike to work before. You can read some of the articles here:

My commute was longer when I rode my bike to work, but when I realized that I didn’t have to take extra time in my day for my workout, it made up for it. Plus, the added worry about getting to work on time helped keep my ride energizing and in the aerobic zone.

If it is at all possible to ride your bike to work, you should do it. Not only will you slip past the gridlock of traffic, you’ll live longer and look better.
