Bicycle Commuting

If you work within 2 to 10 miles of your home, bicycling is an excellent commuting option. It’s free, healthy, and sometimes can even be faster than sitting in your car on congested roadways.

Exercise is a proven stress reliever, and you will enjoy the benefits of reduced risk of stroke and heart disease, as well as increased bone integrity and improved mood.

With Maine’s tricky weather, bicycling won’t always be your best option. However, even if you make it a seasonal commuting method, you will be doing a lot to cut your commuting costs, reduce auto emissions and congestion, and improve your health.
