Bike to Work Week 2010
1/12/2010

Building on the success of last year’s Bike to Work Week that drew 1,472 registered participants, organizers announced recently that Bike to Work Week 2010 is set for May 16-22.

“This event just keeps getting bigger and better each year,” said volunteer committee chair Barb Chamberlain in a news release. “Our goal for 2010 is to register 1,700 participants and sign up at least 80 teams for the Commute Challenge.” 

Bike to Work Week 2009 featured well-attended events such as the kick-off breakfast, a Bicycle Education Fair, Walk & Roll to School Day at Spokane Public Schools with over 2,200 students participating, the Group Health Commute Challenge featuring 62 teams, and the popular wrap-up party.  In total, during Bike to Work Week participants avoided more than 64,000 miles of vehicle transportation by riding their bikes 

In 2010 the Commute Challenge will be extended to a month, with Bike to Work Week as the kickoff, according to the news release. 

Registration for the 2010 edition of Bike to Work Week will open in March. For more information, visit www.biketoworkspokane.org.
