So, if you have a prize that you want to trade, tell us about it here and maybe someone will be interested in swapping what they got with your prize.

How Can $100 Be Used to Increase Bike Commuting?


(Photo of employees from Innovative Micro Technology--many of whom are new bike commuters because of the TBC).

The TBC Top Mileage Winner, Jeffrey Alexander logged 1113 miles during the 2006 TBC. Wow! He logged so many miles by commuting to work in Goleta and then also taking trips from Santa Barbara to UCSB, sometimes several times a day. He also committed to taking his bike for most of the errands he needed to run in June.

Jeffrey is not interested in keeping the $100 he won for himself. Instead, he would like to work with all of you to come up with a creative way to re-use the $100 awarded to him to help more people keep riding into the summer and beyond. He's especially interested in helping people commute longer distances, for example, from Ventura to Santa Barbara or Pismo Beach to Santa Maria.

What are your ideas? How should Jeffrey spend his $100 big ones?
