Testimonials

"I began biking to work 7 years ago and still do 3-4 times per week. My round trip of 16 miles allows me about an equal mix of road and trails and a built-in workout. As the area I live in is undergoing a long-term freeway expansion project, I can often get to work in the same or less time than by car (and far less stressfully and expensively too). I have also now coordinated my workplace participation in the San Diego Bike to Work event for 5 years running."

  • Dan Harris, Wellness Director

“I bike to work for many reasons. I’m lucky enough to live close to work to make the trip feasible on a daily basis. But this is also my choice. By choosing to live near where I work, I maintain the option of riding to work. It’s a wonderful way to get around. Parking is easy, I feel great when I get to work, and then I get to look forward to riding home, releasing stress rather than accumulating more sitting in traffic.”

  • Everett Hauser, University Heights, San Diego

“I like to bike to work as a way to get the exercise and fresh air that I need without putting in extra time. My bike ride takes almost exactly the same amount of time as my bus ride and I arrive to work feeling completely energized. The building I work in provides bike lockers for those who need them, which have definitely been helpful and reassuring. I love the fact that by biking wherever I can, even if on an infrequent basis, I’m doing something to improve the quality of life in San Diego."

  • Jeramie Brown, Hillcrest, San Diego
