On Thursday, May 15, the U.S. observes Bike to Work Day, an annual event that invites commuters to swap cars for bikes to ease congestion and cut pollution. This eco-friendly push is designed to help mitigate climate change by reducing reliance on polluting transport.
In an ironic twist, the U.S. recently withdrew from a global climate change treaty for the second time, and tariffs have driven up the cost of bikes, making the switch more challenging for many. Despite the obstacles, the spirit of the day shines through as communities rally for a healthier, greener future.
Young professionals, students, and urban explorers are leading the way with every pedal stroke, turning everyday commutes into a powerful statement for sustainability. 🚴♂️ Each ride not only reduces traffic but also fuels hope for cleaner air and a more connected community.
