Tucson Bike Fest

This month is the Tucson Bike Fest, and Ross and I have been logging some serious miles (this is actually a form of secret training for Gila). I have to admit though, that Ross and I have not been getting along as well as we once did. Those intense April winds don’t make for pleasant bike commuting, especially when one is late for class.

Nonetheless, there are some great prizes at stake here, and I will always compete for prizes. Since I already commute by bicycle, it makes it even easier. It is simple to compete in the Tucson Bike Fest Challenge. Simply log-in to the PAG Rideshare site and log your commute each day. You can do this retroactively – as the challenge is for the month of April – as well, if you are shooting for a chance at the grand prize, which of course, I am. Although, Ross would probably not take too kindly to that shiny new bike taking up a parking spot in the shed. For those non-Tucson readers out there, check out your city’s website for similar challenges and opportunities.

And the coolest part is the PAG Rideshare tracks how much money and carbon you save each month. Here is a breakdown of my April savings. Not too shabby.

Until next time, happy commuting!
