Hi, Regina! I do have a few ideas for you...

Feel free to use or not use any of these ideas:

Start with "Congratulations and thank you (or even a big thank you) to everyone...." - it's a little less wordy and more exciting.

Change up the end a little so it says: "Thousands of commuters took to the streets today in a celebration of bicycling as a clean, fun, and healthful alternative to solo driving. In appreciation of those who cycled on this special day, some prizes will be awarded."

Is there any way to make this a tiny bit interactive? Can you invite those who rode to work to email, or fill out a slip and send it to someone? You could have random prizes, or you could have a prize for the division that had the most participants. In fact, don't even decide what you'll award until after you find out how many people participated! Your write up just needs to say something like "let human resources know that you biked to work today. You could win a prize!"

Prize ideas: do you have corporate logo'd items? Any logo'd item would be good, but one that has a sports theme, especially a bike theme would be ideal. The company I work for has water bottles with the corporate logo on them, so that would be an easy give away.

Have fun!

Hugs & butterflies,
