Notes
No bicycling is involved in this seminar.

If you live within 10 miles of your workplace, bicycling is a great way to get to work. It's fun, great for your health, less expensive than most other alternatives, and is frequently the fastest way to commute. Bike New York's bike commuting presentation is available to work groups to help get employees started as bike commuters. Presentation time: Approximately one hour.
