Try biking or transit for a happier, healthier you! |

Dear Stanford Commuter, In these tight budget times, it’s great to find ways to save. With biking, walking, and/or transit, you can increase your personal and financial fitness with cash rewards and with exercise incorporated in your commute, even occasionally. As a further incentive, you are invited to join us in celebrating National Bike Month for the month of May. Biking is an environmentally friendly way to commute. Even if it has been years since you rode a bike, we can help you get back on two wheels. Whether you are a new or returning rider or an experienced rider, we encourage you to think safety first, and we would love to hear from you! Need help making the change? We offer free, customized bike and transit plans to help you identify your best commute options, along with tips and advice. Please contact us if we can help: commuteclub@stanford.edu.
P.S. Visit our sample bike routes, and learn about foxes and donkeys you could see on your bike commute! It's reported that one of the donkeys (Perry) was the model for the donkey in the movie Shrek. |
