There are just eight days before America’s largest bicycling celebration kicks off — it’s almost Bike to Work Day, and your bicycle is certainly worth celebrating.

Your bicycle takes you from A to B. It’s efficient and affordable. It shows you corners of New York City you’d never spot from the subway. And at the end of a bad day, your bicycle can improve your mood with a turn of the pedals.

Celebrate Bike to Work Day by becoming a Transportation Alternatives member; if you join before 11:59 pm on Friday, you’ll be entered to win a Pure Fix Cycles bike, donated by Spinlister.
