Through the month of May a total of 3,454 Bay Area riders showed their love of bicycling by biking to work, school, the library and all around town when making trips of long and short distances. This was Team Bike Challenge 2013, getting people out of the house, out of cars, and onto bikes as a means of transit. This year was our biggest Team Bike Challenge yet with 1,029 teams and 356 companies participating. New and old riders took to the streets together to bike a total of 1,122,869 miles and burn 69,056,444 calories. A huge congratulations and thank you to all our Team Bike Challenge participants and winners! We already can’t wait for next year.
