30 Days of Biking
Two of the instigators of 30daysofbiking.com were on KARE 11 last Friday, and one of the other instigators, Ryan Kucera, works (and bikes to work) with me at The Nerdery. We’ve got a number of regular bikers on staff, and the company’s done a good job of making the environment bike friendly. We have places to park our bikes, lockers for clothes and a shower. In fact, they’re actually a sponsor of the initiative.
Personally, I love working in an environment where I don’t feel trapped or pressured to have a car in order to do my job. We do web development, and I spend the entire day sitting at a computer. So commuting by bicycle really helps prevent me from feeling like I’m living a sedentary life style.
Anyway, Ryan helped kick off the initiative by hastily registering the domain on March 25. Collectively, we’ve logged some serious miles since then, with peddlers in England, Indonesia, China, Australia…and yes, plenty here in Minneapolis where it all began – the city that just this week unseated Portland atop Bicycling magazine’s list of “America’s Top 50 Bike-Friendly Cities.” Coincidence?
Anyway, thanks, Ryan, for getting this movement moving – and thanks, Nerdery, for sponsoring this initiative (and by the way we’re hiring – heavily).
