Congratulations to the 580 Bike Challenge participants who charged it for 31 days in May, challenging themselves to toss their car keys aside and hop on their bikes instead.

To all of your participants: YOU did an awesome job! As individual cyclists, families, coworkers, and friends, we challenged each other to have fun, be healthy and live sustainably by driving less and biking more!

What does the 2011 Bike Challenge mean for us and our community? Well immediately, it means the following 5 businesses, 32 top teams, and 7 raffle winners are getting loads of prizes and celebrations for rocking the Bike Challenge! (Thank you CycleMAYnia Sponsors for the great prizes!) Beyond that it means that we're highlighting biking as a legitimate form of transportation in our community. We're making our streets more welcoming for fellow bicyclists and improving our personal physical and mental health. We made 9,323 bike trips in the month-long challenge, kept 80,000 pounds of polluting emissions out of our air (mostly CO2), avoided pumping more than 4,000 gallons of gas into our cars, and now we can spend our cash on better things!

Congratulations to the winning teams and businesses!
