Adventure #1: Bike to work

If you don’t already bike to work, why not trial it this Go by Bike Week? See how it goes! You might find that it’s faster than your typical commute, or that it’s more convenient to make side quests (run errands) along the way.

At the end of your trial, you might find that you can add cycling to work in your routine at least once per week.
