Bike Commuter of the Year Awards Announced

MTC, the Bay Area Bicycle Coalition and other sponsors of Bike to Work Day and Team Bike Challenge today announced winners of the 2011 Bike Commuter of the Year competition. Nine local residents, one in each Bay Area county, are being recognized for their dedication to riding their bike for everyday transportation. Spanning the age gamut from grade schoolers to senior citizen, these intrepid cyclists are a testament to the many benefits of bicycle commuting, from improving their health to cutting carbon emissions to bringing families together. Winners are shown below, and will be recognized at a series of county-by-county events leading up to and celebrating Bike to Work Day, which falls on Thursday, May 12, 2011.
