“How far did you ride today?” my friend asked.
“A hundred miles, but it was flat,” I said, rounding up slightly. “It was easy.”
She thought I was being self deprecating. “You don’t have to say that,” she chided me.

When Emily Lavely-Holloway registered for the 2013 STP she told herself she didn’t have to like it, she just had to do it.
“I just need to finish it, and then I never have to do it again,” Emily said.
She’s riding the STP for her dad, Rick, who discovered the joy of bicycling later in life and absolutely loved riding.

The May Commute Challenge presented by Adobe was a smashing success, and by smashing I mean that participants smashed records in just about all possible categories. Over 14,893 people everywhere from Washington state to Washington, D.C. logged their bike commute trips on the Commute Challenge website and challenged themselves and others to ride as much as possible during the month of May. That's 22 percent more than 2012!
The Fremont Bike Counter recorded 108,000 bikes in May, breaking the previous monthly record by 36,000 riders.
In just 31 days, riders logged 1.7 million miles (equivalent to taking 1700 cars off the road for a month) and offset 1.6 million pounds -or 86,000 gallons of gasoline worth- of carbon emissions.
Over 1800 team captains from more than 1000 organizations led the charge to get more folks on bikes and inspired over 3,400 newbies to try bike commuting for the first time. With a little peer encouragement and support during National Bike Month, thousands of people discovered or rediscovered the most convenient, economical, healthiest and most enjoyable way to get around town. Way to go!
Hopefully, many of you will continue riding throughout the summer and throughout the year. Remember, every time you commute by bike you help strengthen the case for bicycling improvements and safer streets for everyone.
Now, on to the final standings and big winners!
