May is Bike Month—take the Bike Month Commute Challenge!

The Bike Month Commute Challenge, presented by Adobe, is May 1  31. Motivate yourself to commute by bike as often as possible during the month of May. Track yourself or join as part of a team, and use a cool new website to track all your bike trips. To participate, you need to commute by bike at least four days throughout the month. No problem, right?
