    It’s exciting working behind the scenes and seeing this grow. I am excited for B2WC ’10 and the new riders we are seeing. Thanks for featuring this, Walker.

    Thanks, Walker! We hope to see a lot of a new riders out this year.

    Maybe free bagels and coffee will entice you? Through the hard work of some of our B2WC planning team, we have coffee donations from Brioso and bagels and cream cheese from Panera. We’ll have 4 stops set up for you to snag a cup and a bite to eat on your way to work May 21. More details to come.

    THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

    Dan Magestro didn’t need the Bike to Work Challenge to get interested in biking to work. He frequently rides his bike from his Upper Arlington home to his Downtown job as an investment adviser at Nationwide, even making the 6-mile commute in the winter.

    But he’s still participating in the challenge, which began yesterday, in an effort to get people to bike to work as much as possible over 10 days. The event is organized by Yay Bikes!
