So what is Bike, Walk Wheel Week and why would I be discussing it on my Self Storage Blog?  According to the City of Columiba website, "Bike, Walk and Wheel Week is a weeklong program of events designed to encourage all Columbians to use active modes of transportation to get to work, school or wherever they need to go around town." 

So your thinking what does that have to do with Self Storage.  As I took my 20 minute bike ride to work this morning down the beautiful Bear Creek Trail I was thinking about how my ride to work was benefiting me and my job.   Here are my conclusions:

1) Riding my bike to work improves my health so I am absent less days.

2) I am also more awake and alert when I get to work improving my performance

3) Research has shown that exercise lowers the level or stress, so I am better able to handle the emotional ups and downs of my job.

4) When I ride my bike - it means that one less parking space is needed.  Which lowers the cost of asphalt maintenance and land required just to park our cars while we are at work.

5) Also riding my bike supports StorageMarts Build it Green Challenge by providing an opportunity to talk about the value of living and building in an eco friendly lifestyle. 

If anyone would like to ride to work with me,  Let me know I would love to start a trend!
