DID YOU KNOW?
L.A. County ranks number one nationally in traffic congestion and fuel waste with an annual cost of $10.7 billion. And, L.A. ranked 3rd in America's fattest cities in 2006 by Men's Fitness magazine, while L.A. County's children are tied for the most obese in California.
BUT, by using a bike instead of a car just one day a week, the average American would save $609 in gasoline, maintenance and depreciation costs per year, reduce emissions by 24 pounds per week, and burn an extra 1315 calories at a 12mph pace! ( Bicycling Magazine)
