If you're still basking in the glow of Bike the Drive, here is another Active Transportation Alliance-organized event you might want to check out. It's a great opportunity for you to introduce your coworkers to the advantages of bicycle commuting, possibly win prizes, all while satisfying your appetite for friendly competition. Here's more information, pulled from the Bike Commuter Challenge website:

The Bike Commuter Challenge (BCC) is a week-long annual event. In 2014 alone, 6,000 participants from across 650 Chicagoland companies and organizations including Groupon and Orbitz took part in the event. Participation is easy - you don't have to bike all the way every day, just biking to your local bus or train stop counts. We'll give you and your office all the tools you need to get going on two wheels. Meet other cool bike commuters all week before work at various pit stops around the region. it's easy, free and most of all, fun!

While the event is free, you have the opportunity to win some really great prizes for raising money!
