Bike to Work Day 2009
14 de mayo de 2009
Almost every Friday, I jump on my bike in San Francisco and ride roughly 45 miles to get to work at the
Google campus
in Mountain View — it takes about 3 hours. Most people think I'm crazy, but seeing the sun rise over the bay and feeling the rush of the air as I speed down
Cortland Hill
at close to 30mph on my bike makes it all worth it.
Today and tomorrow, Googlers in 42 offices from around the world are joining me in celebrating
Bike to Work Day
. Google's participation in this national event began in 2003 with only a handful of participants. Through the years, the tradition has grown from a purely local event to one that involves numerous offices in competition to get the longest distance biked, the most bikers, and the greatest percentage of an office participating.
More than 500 Googlers in the San Francisco Bay Area participated, jumping on their bikes and leaving traffic behind. The benefits to us are clear; not only is biking great for health and fitness, but it also spares the earth a day of pollution.
