Austin Commuter Challenge
Queen encouraged it, and here at SicolaMartin, we challenge people to do it, too. It’s called the Austin Commuter Challenge, and working with Bicycle Sport Shop and the City of Austin, we’re making it happen.
What is the Austin Commuter Challenge? It’s a way to encourage individuals, groups or families to drive less and bike more. To the corner store, the gym, school or work, all over Austin, people are turning the key for short little jaunts when they could just be turning their pedals. Saving the climate, getting some exercise, and putting themselves in the running (or riding, as the case may be) for over $1,000 in prizes that are up for grabs.
In 2009, roughly 300 Austin Commuter Challenge participants logged 28,000 miles and saved $12,320 in gas. This year, we’re hoping for even more.
To spread the word, SicolaMartin worked with the Bicycle Sport Shop to produce the event website. Compelling materials sure to gear up local cyclists. Want to commuter challenge yourself? The deadline for entry is April 30.
But you don’t have to be in Austin to enjoy the allure of the open pedal. Biking is a great way to get your exercise and get a close-up view of wherever you live. So, grab your friends, grab your helmet and hop on. The road awaits!
