Usually May is the month where several state agencies get together to promote bicycle riding in Pennsylvania. While times certainly have changed of late, one th...ing that hasn’t changed is your ability to ride your bicycle, whether as a primary source of transportation or for fun and exercise. PennDOT, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) have come together virtually to share resources and encourage you to ride responsibly PennDOT has a wealth of information on cycling http://bit.ly/PARideABike, including an Active Transportation Plan that outlines a vision and framework for improving conditions for walking and bicycling across Pennsylvania. DCNR invites you to get outdoors and explore trail biking as close to home as possible https://trails.dcnr.pa.gov/, while DEP encourages cycling as an emission-free mode of transportation. DOH recognizes the importance of incorporating physical activity into your day. Bike riding can help maintain weight, improve mental health and reduce the risk of various chronic diseases. Both DCNR and DOH remind cyclists to continue practicing social distancing when cycling, as outlined here https://www.facebook.com/padcnr/posts/1312500032273559 While not affiliated with state agencies, groups such as Bike Pittsburgh, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia and Bicycle South Central PA regularly share resources for cyclists. Additionally, the League of American Bicyclists is sharing these smart cycling tips https://www.bikeleague.org/content/smart-cycling-tips-0 With so many great reasons and resources, now may be the perfect time to get on your bike and ride! #NationalBikeMonth
