Bike Spirit Award Winner - Carles Mena
Carlos Mena bikes 10 miles from his home in the Hillandale part of Silver Spring to his office in Downtown Bethesda every day, which takes about an hour one way. He has been biking to work for 5 years.
Carlos says that “once you start biking to work, you can feel positive results pretty quickly, and you realize that it’s really not that hard to bike to work.” He encourages others to try biking to work not only for the health benefits, but because “it helps our earth in many ways, provides some alleviation to the traffic congestion in our area, and keeps our planet greener.”
