The 2013 National Bike Challenge ends September 30th. If you haven’t signed up yet, please do so at nationalbikechallenge.org, and start logging your miles!  Kansas is sitting at #12 nationally, and well behind #11 & #10 but there’s still time!

KanBikeWalk is the statewide coordinator for the National Bike Challenge, and have done a great job working to get the word out.

We need to contact all the bike clubs, health organizations, community clubs, civics organizations, cities, and businesses in the state, to ask them to tell their members, their employees, their customers, about the National Bike Challenge. Ask them to print out the flyer and post it to bulletin boards, ask them to include it in their paper and electronic newsletters, ask them to encourage everyone they know to ride their bikes and log their miles.

Here are some images that individuals, organizations, and businesses can use to publicize the National Bike Challenge. Feel free to copy these images and share them widely.
