Our CTR Bike Has Arrived!

Let the fun begin, we have received our new Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) program bike and we're not wasting any time putting it to use! This is Steve, Tony, and Jeff headed out to lunch just a few minutes ago. We're now planning group rides, taking part in Bike To Work Week, and videos we can make with the bike.

The ceremony to pick up the bike was really cool too, because everyone getting bikes was also very excited. This picture is of Jeff schmoozing with Mayor Verner and Ron Kusler from the CTR office.

On the ride back to the office, we saw several people on new bikes taking joyrides through Riverfront Park. It's been years since I've ridden though, and I immediately had a mishap with the gears- right in front of the TV cameras :)
