June results from National Bike Challenge show Team UofL riders are helping beat the heat
UofL staff, faculty, and students are declaring their independence from four wheels and hopping on bicycles to feel the breeze throughout the dog days of summer. Throughout June, we pedaled for fun, fitness, and sustainable, healthy, non-polluting transportation.
Team UofL is participating in the 2021 National Bike Challenge and you can show your support for a healthy lifestyle and sustainable transportation by saddling up! !Register for the National Bike Challenge and Join Team UofL as an individual to compete against your peers. Simply log your trips by bicycle for recreation, fitness, or transportation. Your miles and days cycled will qualify you for great prizes through Get Healthy Now, including the grand prize of a $400 voucher to a local bike shop, co-sponsored by UofL's Sustainability Council! The National Bike Challenge is open to everyone, however the Get Healthy Now competition is restricted to UofL employees, retirees, and their spouses/qualifying adults.
The results are in and UofL riders racked up 20,174 miles over 1354 rides since the National Bike Challenge began on May 1st. That includes 1342 miles of biking for transportation, which equates to 862 pounds of heat-trapping gases kept out of the atmosphere to keep us all a little cooler. Individual Team UofL riders posted some impressive stats in June 2021. During June, our 2020 Grand Champ, Kamila Bujko, continued to dominate, racking up the most miles (722), followed by our Bike Month winner, DJ Biddle (537). But most improvement was shown by our June prize winner, Associate Professor of English, Joseph Turner, with 5th most miles (365) & 3rd most trips (25).
