May is National Bike Month, and it’s not too late to get in on this healthy and cost effective mode of transportation.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that biking one mile saves almost one pound of greenhouse gases from being produced, roughly equivalent to the amount of greenhouse gas produced by the average home in Nashville’s electricity usage over 25 minutes.
Don’t own a bike? Nashville offers two bike rental options in the downtown area, including locations near Vanderbilt’s campus.
