Last month we posted about participating in Bike Transportation Alliance's Bike Commute Challenge.  Now we're excited to share the amazing results of this month-long competition!

Team GladRags

Number of participating workplaces:
1240

Number of riders:
11,118

Number of riders new to bike commuting:
2,693

Total number of miles biked:
1,244,718

 

That's a lot of bike commuters and a lot of miles!  We had so much fun challenging ourselves to bike to work every single day (as a team, we logged 490 miles in September!) and checking our ranking on the BTA website -- we even received a plaque for our 100% workplace participation rate!

You can read more about the Bike Commute Challenge -- including the guy who biked over 1,800 miles in just 21 days! -- at Bike Portland's blog.  Thanks again to the Bike Transportation Alliance for organizing such an enjoyable competition and to all the other teams who participated!
