Biking to work is a great way to get in a little exercise, enjoy the scenery, and help clean the air at the same time. Whether you do it everyday or once or twice a week, every pedal you take goes a long way toward making a big difference.

Fortunately, it’s not that hard to do. There are plenty of bike paths near our luxury apartment in San Mateo, and Caltrains has made it easy to get on their trains and go wherever you want to go with your bike.

This makes it easy to commute anywhere in the area without ever having to reach for your car keys. Of course, the biggest benefits are well-known:

  • You will never fight traffic ever again.
  • Rising cost of gas? You will hardly notice.
  • You will get some exercise and feel wonderful doing it.
  • Taking the bike/train combo? It’s extra time to read, do some work, or just relax.

Plus, you will  be helping to keep a tremendous amount of pollution from clouding up our sunny California skies.

To learn more about our bike maintenance workshop and storage areas, contact us and we will be glad to answer your questions.
