Whether you’re thinking about biking to work for weight loss, to save money, or because you just can’t help but covet tricked-out cycling equipment, making the switch to two wheels isn’t as painful as you think.

For bicyclists, grocery shopping poses a slight problem. It’s hard to take a ton of food home on your bike, but sometimes you just need to buy a boatload of groceries. No one wants to tip over while riding home and lose all their groceries all over the street.
Introducing the Bike or Bag: It’s a bike that transforms into a shopping cart in the grocery store, only to conveniently switch back to a bike for the ride home! More
Most of the U.S. seems to be moving in the right direction (slowly but surely) as far as eco-friendly transportation goes. Cities are creating Bike-to-Work events and using hybrid buses and taxis. But Black Hawk, Colorado, just took a big … More
