Tuesday Video: Are you bike-curious?
45 million Americans are and Oregon Congressman Earl Blumenauer says
you might be as well
. According to
Grist
, the “Portland politician is pedaling bi-opportunities left and right:
bipartisanship
,
bipeds
, and bicycling.” Ha. His point stands though: Commuting two to three miles by bike takes about 15 minute and over the course of an hour, a 130-pound cyclist burns 402 calories and an 180-pound cyclist burns 540 calories when pedaling 14 miles per hour.
You can take the
bike-curious pledge
and if you’re unsure you can find out
what kind of bike-curious you are
