Our LBS is having a Commute to Work contest this summer! They are even giving away a Giant bike to the winner. I think this is such a great idea. I wish I could participate, but I work at home most days and when I don't, it's a 80 mile commute one way. I'm hoping they might change it to Commute to work or errands contest :D

They are having one of those contests in this area as well. I have a similar problem in that it goes by mileage. I only live one mile from my office. If it went by dedication I would win for sure as I have taken my bike to work every day since I bought it. (Why wouldn't I?)

Oh man, I wish we had something like that around here! My commute is long enough to rack up the miles, but short enough to do it every day (if I was better about motivation). A contest would really get me going!

Maybe I'll suggest one at my LBS - I'd LOVE to see more people commuting here besides just me! :)

well, May is the Commute to work challenge month in many places. My team the Bonzo Bikers is composed of me and 7 coworkers and DH! (he's my secret weapon)
we are in a direct competition with the group across the street. the Aeroheads.

We won't be winning any prizes but it is fun.
