Find tips and resources for bicycle commuting on The Clean Air Campaign’s website. Plus, you can only imagine how healthy and affordable a bike commute can be – and The Clean Air Campaign will even pay you up to $100 to switch from driving alone to trying a cycling commute. Even if you can’t bike the whole way, most transit vehicles accommodate bikes, so try cycling to your nearest transit stop.
