Holiday shopping by bike

The holiday season is upon us, which means you’ve probably got some shopping to do.

Why not pick up your gifts, meal fixings and other seasonal goodies by bike? As someone who bikes–whether you ride for health, to reduce your carbon footprint, pinch pennies or simply add some humanity to our roads–it's likely you're a consumer with a conscience. So consider this: if you shop by bike this month, you’ll save on gas money, spend time outside, get a glimpse of your neighborhood twinkly lights, boost your local economy and help contribute to a more vibrant community. When you choose to ride, you help keep money within your local economy that might otherwise end up in the faraway pockets. 

Need more reasons to shop by bike this holiday season? You won’t have to circle the block to find a place to park and you’ll be able to (heck, you’ll need to!) fuel up hot chocolate, cider and other holiday treats. It’s a win-win-win-win... well, you get the idea.

Grab an extra bike bag (and a loved one!), hop on your steed and help make this holiday season a little brighter for yourself and your neighborhood retailer.

Looking for a present idea? How about the gift that keeps on giving: a gift certificate to your neighborhood bike shop.
