      I work at home, so next week I am going to ride around the block in the morning so I can feel like I am a part of bike to work week!

      I run a clean energy technology hedge fund/ investment advisory service, so if anyone is wondering about investment opportunities in wind, solar or transportation please call me!

      I just started biking to work whenever possible a couple of weeks ago. It is so much more interesting that driving. People say hi, I notice something new every day. It was hard the first day, but it keeps getting easier which makes me feel great!

      Although I have a driver’s license, I never really put any thought into driving my own car. Since I like being out in the community, I find biking to be an excellent way to keep myself fit.

      When I began working, I started out as a pedestrian. After awhile, I decided to bike to work as well as walking. Therefore, I encourage others to try it, too!

      I’m encouraging all my colleagues and friends to ride their bikes to work this week!

      Why not get the whole office to take part!
