For the 10th year in a row, countless bike enthusiasts will ditch their cars and get themselves to work, school, or play on bikes, in search of a healthy body and a peaceful mind. Breakfasts, guided trail tours, lectures, raffles, tune-ups, even rodeos—Pioneer Valley Bike Commute Week has it all covered. Strap on your helmet and breathe in the beauty of Western Massachusetts in a way that only biking will allow. If you leave the car in the garage and take the dusty two-wheeler out for the week, who's to say the gas-guzzler won't be the one to gather cobwebs?
