The 14-mile commute for the Lt. Governor also helped show how commuters can not only incorporate regular exercise into a busy schedule, but reduce health risks such as heart disease as well traffic congestion and pollution.
The Lt. Governor was among hundreds of people who commuted by riding bikes to work on May 16 for National Bike to Work Day in Hawai‘i. More than 250 of them gathered before work at Tamarind Park in downtown Honolulu.

"To achieve goals of healthy living, we need to re-think how our individual behavior is influenced by the structure of our communities, workplaces and schools," Lt. Governor Aiona said. "We have to change the options available around us so that they support healthy behaviors."
