Michiganders Biking to Work and Beyond
Last week was National Bike to Work week and many of you were kind enough to submit photos of your experiences from all over the state.
It was great to see so many people, despite the less than perfect weather, bike to work or wherever they were going and prove that Michigan’s roads aren’t just for cars. Once we start designing our transportation system to accommodate users beyond cars, we’ll be able to develop the more walkable and desirable communities that people want to live, work and play in.
The Let’s Save Michigan campaign is teaming up with the Michigan Complete Streets Coalition to move forward to policy that will help develop the state policies that will develop a better, safer and more accommodating transportation system for Michigan. The Coalition includes groups such as AARP, the League of Michigan Bicyclists, and the Michigan Environmental Council.
Be sure to sign out petition to show your support for Complete Streets. And be sure to check your local calendars, some bike to work events are happening in the next couple weeks.
Here are some the submission from across Michigan

From Milan, we find out that getting to work by alternative means doesn't always mean by bike.
