'Green' commute

Left, participants in the "Bike to Work Day" ride down University Avenue in Provo on Wednesday. Right, bicycle commuters include county commissioners Larry Ellertson, left, and Gary Anderson, right, and Provo Mayor Lewis Billings, who are seen preparing to depart on a three-mile ride. All participants were required to wear helmets; Anderson goes the extra mile by wearing a BYU football helmet. May is National Bike Month, and UTA Rideshare had invited the public to participate in the "Bike to Work Day."
