MEMORANDUM

Posted:	April 19, 2013 11:57 AM
From:	Senator Patricia H. Vance
To:	All Senate members
Subject:	Memo #19 -- Bike to Work Day in Pennsylvania Resolution

In the near future, I plan to introduce a Senate resolution marking May 17, 2013, as Bike to Work Day in Pennsylvania. Biking is part of a healthy lifestyle that benefits the environment and community. It can slow the onset of chronic disease and reduce obesity. Bicycle commuting is an effective means to improving air quality, reducing traffic congestion and noise, and conserving energy. It benefits both employees and employers through better employee health and fitness and reduction in commuting, parking and health care costs. A number of Bike to Work events will be held throughout the Commonwealth on May 17, including one at the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Harrisburg.
