If you've ever thought to yourself, "You know, I really don't live that far from work. I should at least walk or bike there every once in a while," then this is your week.
Today marks the start of the 10th annual Seacoast Bike/Walk to Work Week, when folks across the Seacoast make a commitment to use their bikes or feet to get to work.
