Weekend Activity

Given our recent posting on the Bicycle Commuter Act and biking to work, this weekend's activity is biking, of course. Most of us loved to ride our bikes when we were kids, but riding a bike as an adult can be really fun and is great exercise. If you live in a city, check out the bike paths available and map out a ride. Most cities, such as Boston, New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, have websites to show you local bike paths. If you live outside of the city, visit a state park and try trail biking or just bike around the neighborhood.

If you don't own a bike, you can rent one from a local bike shop. And of course, a frugal fitness bonus, renting a bike is very inexpensive, but make sure you either buy your own helmet or rent one as well.
