Bike To Work Week 2010

May 15th - 21st

Many thanks to the 950 riders that registered for Bike to Work Week 2010! It was a huge success and could not have happened without all the support from cyclists, motorists, coffee shops, bike shops, and most importantly the volunteers with Truckee Meadows Bicycle Alliance.

Estimated benefits to our community and environment include:
                $5,427.70 saved through lower commute costs
                349,200 calories or 99.7 lbs of fat burned
                226.6 lbs of carbon monoxide emissions eliminated, and
                970 lbs of carbon dioxide emissions eliminated.

Congratulations to our Commuter Challenge Winners!
