The purpose of this contest is to promote the benefits of cycling as both an alternate form of transportation and a way to improve your health and fitness. 

Why is it important to bike to work?

•  Health benefits – Participation in regular physical activity, like bicycling, can reduce the risk of many diseases including heart disease and certain types of cancer. Other benefits include reaching and keeping a healthy weight & having increased energy levels.
• Environmental benefits – Burning fossil fuels is a major contributing factor to global climate change. Reducing short trips in your vehicle will help improve air quality. A cleaner environment will contribute to a healthier community.
• Financial benefits – Bicycling to work can affect your bottom line; cost savings include gas, parking and wear and tear on your vehicle.
