The Green Bike Project (GBP) will provide 200 new commuter bikes - and 100 tune ups for existing bikes - to commuters in return for their pledge to reduce drive-alone commuting by 60% during the project.
The GBP will begin in mid-August, 2008 and will conclude on May 31, 2009. Participants are not required to commute by bike from mid-November through mid-February. However, any bicycle commute trips they make during the winter months will count towards their reduction pledge.
At the end of the project, participants who fulfill their pledge will:
* earn sole ownership of their green bike, or
* if the participant opted for a tune up of their existing bike, be entered into a drawing for a $1,000 REI gift card.
Start the work week with a weekly Monday ride. (Read More)
