May was the Portneuf Valley Bike to Work month. A Kickoff ribbon cutting event was led by by Mayor Brian Blad, City of Pocatello, and Mayor Steven England, City of Chubbuck. Many activities surrounded Valley Bike to Work month including a Bike Parade mid-month; Tour de Inkom (approximately 50 mile road trip); and Month Long Employee Challenge.
Even with the weather challenging month of May, there were 544 Employee Challenge participants in 140 businesses. Pictures are available at http://pokybiketowork.org. A successful and user friendly tracking system was developed by a steering committee member and used by participants. Tracking sheets were completed June 10, and participants with 60% ridership or higher were entered onto a drawing of some great prizes.
This was a great event and I encourage businesses and individuals who participated to continue to find other ways to get to work and get around town that does not include getting in a car - particularly if you're going to be driving by yourself!
