Numbers count when it comes to getting support for investment in engineering, education, and encouragement for riding -- help us get every bike person in Spokane County signed up at spokanebikes.net (no matter what kind of riding they do).
Have you registered for the month-long Commute Challenge?
Sign up now! Tallying for "most vehicle miles avoided" starts this coming Tuesday, May 1st -- track your miles individually or get friends and co-workers to join your team.
What are "vehicle miles avoided?"
They're any miles you ride that you would have driven otherwise. Even if you don't ride to work, rides to school, the grocery store, a coffee date or anywhere else you could have driven totally count! The only miles that don't count are those ridden purely for recreation and exercise -- trail rides, training rides and the like.
How do I keep track of my miles?
Go to spokanebikes.net once a day or once a week to enter your miles -- no login required! Just give us your name, email address, team name (optional) and your vehicle miles avoided for the day/week! We recommend you keep a tally of your miles for your personal reference throughout the month, and we'll be keeping track as well.
