Pedal Power

Cool People Care » » Pedal Power

Did you know that 189 years ago today, the first bicycle was patented? In honor of that milestone, dust off that two-wheeled transportation machine in the garage and go for a ride. Take the whole family out for a spin and pay a visit to the local farmers market or head off to a park nearby. The benefits for your family are plenty, so make sure to talk to the kids about exercise, preventing pollution, and proper bike safety. You’ll also find that this will provide for some very meaningful family time. Don those helmets and get to pedaling!
