11 ways to bike safely this season

With warmer temperatures comes the opportunity to integrate active transportation into our daily routines. What is active transportation? Well, it’s when you use your own energy to move from point A to point B and one great example of active transportation is cycling. Not only is cycling outdoors good for your heart, lungs, balance and coordination but it can also boost your mental health by reducing stress, anxiety and depression. Before you get your wheels turning though, it’s important to make sure you’re equipped with the right gear and that your bike is in good working order.
