Otsego Regional Cycling Advocates (a committee of Otsego County Conservation Assoc.) are encouraging people to ditch motor vehicles on Wednesday as their mode of transportation in lieu of a more healthy and environmentally friendly mode of transport: a bicycle.  

The occasion is "Bike to Work Day" (or school) with registration sites set up in various locations in the region or you can log in your miles that day on-line at NationalBikeChallenge.org and then look for "Otsego Regional Cycling Advocates Bike Challenge".  The goal is to have 75,000 riders across the nation pedaling 35 million miles from now until September 30th, 2015.  Every time you get on a bike, your miles count toward that goal.

For more information visit: occainfo.org/bike-to-work-day or call Jeff O'Handley at (607) 547-4488.
