Treasure State Judaism: National Ride your Bike to Work Day is May 19

Full Disclosure

I try to be active in my community. However, if you are going to read my posts, I think it worthwhile that you know something about the organizations with which I affiliate.

I am the current chair of Great Falls Neighborhood Council 7. If you live in that district, please feel free to contact me about any issue you would like brought before the council.

I am on the board of my synagogue, Congregation Aitz Chaim; the Great Falls Hebrew Association. Aitz Chaim is the only organized Jewish community in Northcentral Montana.

I am on the board and a former past-President of the Montana Association of Jewish Communities. MAJCO is an umbrella organization that attempts to help the growth and strength of all seven organized Jewish communities in the State of Montana.

National Ride your Bike to Work Day is May 19

Yes, having a Ride Your Bike To Work Day is silly. At this point, what don't we have a day for?

In any case, I have been converted to the gospel on bike riding. I bought my bike because gas was getting too expensive, and I haven't driven my car to work since the end of February. In the process, I figure I have saved a few bucks and lost about 10 lbs.

So, even if it is silly, leave the auto in the garage and dust off that bike on Friday. You'll be glad you did.
