Using the Plus3Network
system, every mile you ride could earn 2 cents for a charity
of yoru choice. We kept track of bike mileage last spring
but this year, if you wish, you may join us at the Plus3Network,
log your miles and earn money for a charity.
A road bike is not necessarily your best bet
for commuting. You don't need a $2,000 bike to get to work
or to school. In fact a "beater" bike might be better.
