Come Car Free to Earth Day!

For the whole month of May, Traffic Solutions is bringing you the BIKE CHALLENGE as part of CycleMAYnia. As with our challenges every year, co-workers and friends can participate by forming a team of five and registering at www.TrafficSolutions.info. You will earn points and prizes for riding your bike everywhere, any day in May! There are awesome prizes awaiting you, courtesy of the 2011 CycleMAYnia sponsors, which include our local bike shops, VeloPro, FasTrack, Cranky’s, Bicycle Bob’s and WheelHouse, as well as Horny Toad Active Wear, Nau, Lezyne, and Thule.

So, how does it work? The Bike Challenge is a friendly competition with five-member teams making round-trips by bike instead of by car.

Team members log each day they bike on their Commute 2010 winning team - Fielding Forward Calendar. This year teams who attend CycleMAYnia events earn extra points. At the end of the competition, the 1st place team and other top teams win a variety of prizes. Businesses can also compete for prizes and glory.

The Bike Challenge is open to anyone who lives or works in Santa Barbara County, as well as local businesses. Log-in to your existing Traffic Solutions account (or create one) at www.TrafficSolutions.info and register your team.

April 16-17, 2011 Start your Earth Day the car free way! CEC’s annual Earth Day Festival is right around the corner. Lace up your walking shoes, pump up your bike tires, check your MTD bus schedule and head on over to Alameda Park. Enter at Bike World, near the corner of Santa Barbara and Micheltorena Streets, for special prizes, displays and demos!
