In honour of BikeWeek, NOW Magazine's current Ecoholic Column is all about BikeWeek, including great tips on getting started, types of bikes, Bikeshare, safety issues, etc.:"According to World Watch, choosing to ride instead drive a 6.4-kilometre round trip keeps 6.8 kilos of pollutants out of the air, including carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide. Plus, you'll save a hell of a lot of money in fuel (or transit tokens). Bicycles actually outsold cars in the U.S. last year for the first time since the oil embargo of the 70s. Pretty impressive. "
As well, if you check the Sweet Deals section, you'll see a blurb about the CBN Auction on Monday Night, and it mentions the I Bike T.O. buttons and shirts too! Pretty cool.
