If you are a GHS junior or senior chances are you’re driving yourself to school every day. Have you ever thought about taking your bike instead? Bicycling is the most energy efficient transportation method ever invented! Not only would riding your bike to school calm your nerves and get oxygen pumping through your blood, but it is a perfect way to save a few extra bucks. Students paying for their own gas at $3.74 a gallon could use the extra break. Imagine riding your bike to school one day a week and the amount of gasoline, not to mention money you could save.

For those of you parking at a Burgess parking lot, bicycling can save you that drawn out walk. Providing better and easier parking, it is great way to kick-start your day! Biking can not only help you, but it helps our environment as well! A four mile bike ride keeps close to fifteen pounds of pollutants out of the air we breathe!

Get your peddles and mind turning with this early morning exercise. Working your muscles in the morning will leave you energized and prepared to take on the school day ahead of you! Lead a physically and emotionally healthier lifestyle. Cycling is therapeutic for the mind and cardiovascular system. Proven to reduce stress, enhance joints, and improve self-esteem, bicycling is a great source of exercise.

Grab some friends and bike to school together! If the commute is just too far, carpool and go for a bike ride this weekend! Either way enjoy the summer cycling weather while it lasts.
