Air pollution effects the health and quality of life of everyone in the Roanoke region. As summer approaches, so does ozone season, when car exhaust and heat can combine to form heavy amounts of unhealthy ground-level ozone. Do your part to improve our air by taking the pledge to Commute Clean on May 15! Pledge to use alternative transportation - biking, walking, carpooling or public transit - and be eligible for great prizes including bike gear, a Giant Boulder Bike from Cardinal Bicycle, monthly passes on SmartWay and Valley Metro buses, gift certificates, coffee, and more!
And if you work downtown, are or just passing through, make sue to stop at the Clean Commute Day hospitality booth at the Virginia Museum of Transportation, between 7:30am and 9:00am, for refreshments!
Clean Commute Day is part of the Bike Month 2009 festivities in Roanoke. Visit
www.bikeroanoke.com for a complete list of all Bike Roanoke events, and
join our Facebook group to keep in touch.
Our Goal is 1,000 Pledges!
Bike and walk along the Roanoke Valley's many trails and bicycle accommodations. And don't forget,
May is Bike Month so watch for a full slate of rides and events!
