Sign up for the Bike to Work Day Business Challenge
Business leaders can earn recognition each time an employee pledges to ride in honor of Bike to Work Day on June 26, 2024. Join the Business Challenge and climb a public-facing leaderboard as your staff pledges to swap trips alone in their cars for rides on two wheels. To sign up, fill out the form and promote the program internally when rider registration opens on Monday, April 15. The more employees who sign up, the higher the business will rank on the Bike to Work Day Business Challenge leaderboard. At the end of the challenge, the top companies representing each size category will be recognized on social media and in a paid ad on the Denver Business Journal website. Reach out to btwd@drcog.org with questions.
