Here
at the Bicycle Alliance, we are enthusiastic supporters of new and exciting ways
to expand bike ridership and awareness, both locally and nationally. So when
the 2012 Get Up & Ride National BikeChallenge was announced this year, we were happy to jump on board as the state representative.
The National Bike Challenge – a free nationwide competition
meant to encourage biking for transportation and recreation - starts May 1 and
runs through August 31, 2012, and gives individuals and teams the opportunity
to log their miles and compete for prizes and award plaques on the local and
national levels. The Challenge has already registered riders from all 50 states and DC. This event is organized by the League of American Bicyclists, Bikes Belong, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, and Endomondo.
Participation is easy and free of charge. Just sign up online for the Challenge and create either a workplace team or your own team, join an existing team, or ride solo! Here's a rundown on how to create an account:
