whee - winter campaign!

[lph]

As I maybe mentioned in another post, we have a nation-wide "Ride your bike to work"-campaign in spring, that runs May to June. My company has always participated and it generates a lot of friendly competing and minor arguments as to whether total no. of days biked or total no. of km. biked is more "worthy". (Km, of course!!) You can win a (not very good) bike and a few small prizes.

Anyway, a few weeks ago I started my own small winter campaign, sent an email to a handful of biking colleagues, and encouraged them to pass it on. So far 18 people have signed up, but only about 10 of them are actively logging their rides.

But somebody got the idea that we should have prizes and hoo-hah too, so suddenly today we're on the company intranet, with this picture, meant to illustrate that one can bike in winter either with all the cool gear (that's me on the left) OR in a more urban, feminine manner (that's my colleague Tharan on the right). In the picture I'm pointing out how her fresh lipstick underlines her point...

And the sign in the background says "Parking for company vehicles only". Cool pic, huh?


PS. It IS winter here, even though there's green grass in the picture. Had a snowfall on Monday, most of it rained away and the temperature is now around freezing. Up where I live there's ice everywhere.
