The bicycle commute is an excellent option for those individuals with commutes between two and five miles long.
Many bicycle commuters travel much farther than five miles to work just to enjoy the ride.
One way to increase the length of the commute is to link bicycling with transit. Bikes are allowed on board MetroLink, and Bi-State buses with bike racks. Plans have been made for all Bi-State busses to be equipped with bicycle racks. Bicycling promotes fitness and a sense of well-being. It helps to preserve the environment by replacing short auto trips with a pollutant free commute.
