The Town of Brighton, NY and their environmental initiative Color Brighton Green is sponsoring Rochester, NY's "Curb Your Car Week", which is to run from May 18th -May 24th. During this week motorists are encouraged to reduce or cease their driving for this period of time, or to consider biking to work, taking the bus or carpooling. There are other initiatives across the nation to reduce peoples' car usage, which may already be occuring these days because of increasingly high gas prices. Some cities like Ann Arbor, Michigan are extending the "Curb Your Car" challenge for the entire month of May.
May is also National Bike Month, and May 16th is National Bike to Work Day, so there's no better time to take to two wheels this month! League of American Bicyclists has a pdf of 50 Ways to Celebrate Bike Month---check it out!
