The collapse of a section of I-85 is throwing a wrench into commutes and trips across the region -- approximately 220,000 vehicles per day. 

If you're struggling with transportation options in the fallout, maybe we can help. You don't have to bike every place you go in order for biking to help relieve the pressure on our system and in our individual lives.
