CU Boulder Bike News - October 2021

BCycle ridership is going through the roof! Did you know that the number of trips taken on BCycle bikes between the start of school (Aug 18th) and the 1st day of October has tripled year over year since 2019?! In 2019, ~3,500 riders took 23,218 trips. This year, in large part due to CU student ridership, the number of trips have jumped to 68,292 by more than 9,800 riders. 

It's not too late to join the Go-Tober challenge, a month-long effort to encourage alternative transportation. Participants are entered to win Amazon gift cards, Skullcandy headphones, or a Fitbit tracker! Not only can you still report past trips, but telework “trips” are eligible too. To join, set up an account at MyWaytoGo.org, join the network for University Of Colorado Boulder, track your trips via the website or the Commute Tracker and Strava apps. Tip: Connect these apps to your MyWaytoGo account using the PIN provided in your profile. Watch the challenge website as you move to the top of the leaderboard!
