Palm Beach Bicycle Tour

September 5th 2011

When people think of Palm Beach, they think of million dollar homes and Bernie Madoff. Let's change that image into people on bikes.

Join us in our third annual Palm Beach Bicycle Tour. We will ride our thousand dollar bikes around one of the wealthiest places in the world. Pass by the aero club where the garage doesn't only keep your car safe but your airplane too, and then pass by houses that have a grand ocean view.

"Bicycling" a Life Style

It's very easy to say "I can go without a car for a month." When the moment comes, it's easier to pick up the car key's and drive.

Oscar went in head-first. He turned in his lease and didn't look back. I thought he was going to buy the first cheap car on the market... Three months later he still pedals everywhere he goes!

What are the benefits of commuting? Saving MONEY! Gas, oil change, car insurance, car wash....

The benefits are more than just that. Ask Oscar what the benefits are for him, and the answer is: "I Ride FASTER."

What better way to train than to have to get places on time. Maybe it's too much to go cold turkey, but you can still do a small part by going to work one or two days a week on your bike.
