Riding bicycles is not only healthy for the mind and the body; it's healthy for our planet. This talk discusses the benefits of transportation by bicycle.

Sanelma Heinonen is a senior at Pioneer High School where she runs cross country and plays in the orchestra. Sanelma also loves competing in triathlons and spending time outdoors. Her family lived without a car for the first thirteen years of her life during which Sanelma learned the value and joy of commuting by bike. She is excited to share this passion in the hope of inspiring others to help their health and the beautiful planet.
