Hundreds of Bike Commute Challenge participants gathered at Portland City Hall last week to celebrate more than a million miles of commutes during one of the rainiest Septembers on record. Last month, thousands of people all over Oregon tracked their two-wheeled commutes, challenging their coworkers and industry rivals and the chance to win great prizes – just for getting to work on a bike.
Metro is proud to sponsor this effort that supports clean air and healthy communities with a Regional Travel Options grant.
