WHITEHORSE – A local government employee has managed to take his bike to work every day of the week thanks to the installation of a new bike rack on his SUV.
Thom Gerretsen, 36, has been showing that he cares about cycling ever since he forgot to take his mountain bike off the roof rack located on his Honda CRV last weekend. Since then, the acquisition and procurement manager has been commuting 2km from his suburban home to work each day with his bike.
Ribbons congratulating Gerretsen on his effort to consider the environment and his health were placed on the crossbar of his Soul 27.5 Sport Trail bike, a vehicle he has used twice since purchasing it three years ago.
While the five minute commute can sometimes be nerve-wracking, Gerretsen says he felt safe when he was driving in the bike lane.
