13 Reasons You Should Bike To Work

May is National Bike To Work Month, and there couldn't be a better time of year to throw your old gas guzzler in park and revamp your commute.

Though the U.S. has seen a 40 percent growth in bicycle commuters since 2000, their numbers have yet to surpass 1 million. In contrast, there are 204 million personal vehicles on the road on a given day.

That's a shame.

Not only does biking to work have the potential to improve individuals' health, wealth, and standard of living, but the combination of more cyclists and fewer cars on the road could give the entire country a much-needed boost.
