He's peddling a fit commute Mecklenburg health official, 52, walks and bikes to his job — for himself and the environment

Jon Levin, 52, gave up his car a month ago and now bikes into work several days a week. About 10 weeks ago, Jon Levin, preacher of healthy living at the Mecklenburg County public health department, started spreading the gospel by walking and biking to work. When the notion first struck, the 52-year-old dusted off his sons' bikes to ride the 4.7 miles from his home in Woodbridge to his Billingsley Road office. All three had flat tires, so he opted to walk. |
