The results are in for the 2010 Bike Commute Challenge! Sponsored each year by the Bicycle Transportation Alliance in the state of Oregon, thousands of riders take to the road for their daily commutes and log their miles online. This year again proved to be one for the record books with participation at an all time high. Here is a quick snapshot:
Participating workplaces: 1283 Participating riders: 10,833 Miles biked: 1,166,247As a bike-friendly company, we gladly took on the challenge. We placed 78th this year in our division, with a 26.4% commute percentage. At Jama, participation from last year increased by 800% — helping us achieve 1,340 miles for the month of September through 109 total commutes. These incredible results were achieved even after going one woman down on Day 2 due to a broken shoulder (not biking related!), but the team held it together and kept morale high to finish the month strong.
The Jamians are planning to continue to commute by bike even though the friendly competition with local rivals has ended, but we enjoyed participating in the wonderful Bike Commute Challenge this year.
