You don’t have to bike all the way every day, just biking to your local bus or train stop counts. Groupon, Orbitz, your local bike shop and lots of businesses do it. Nearly 20% of our participants are biking to work for the first time and nearly 40% are women. We’ll give you and your office all the tools you need to get going on two wheels. Meet other cool bike commuters all week before and after work at more than 40 events and socials around the region. </span><a href="http://www.bikecommuterchallenge.org">www.bikecommuterchallenge.org</a><span style='color:black'>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Ethan Spotts<br>Deputy Executive Director, Events & Marketing<br>Active Transportation Alliance<br>9 W.
