Team Bike Challenges and Successes

We at Traffic Solutions are now wrapping up our third annual Team Bike Challenge. Did you know that the San Fransisco Bay Area took a hint from Santa Barbara County and started their own Team Bike Challenge two years ago? I checked out their site, and they have thousands of teams registered throughout several counties. We are now part of something much bigger than Santa Barbara County!

Part of the challenge for participants this year was dealing with some problems on the website. This is not the kind of challenge we wanted to throw at you, and thanks to everyone for bearing with us! We at Traffic Solutions want to let you know that we are doing everything we can to improve our system, and we're already working on a stellar redesign for 2008. The new system will be integrated with the brand new Traffic Solutions Online, which will be your one-stop shop for all of our programs (check it out!). The site will be on a much bigger server hosted off-site, and we anticipate smooth sailing from here on out.

In other news, we'll be sending out a survey soon to get your feedback, but do you have any stories that you'd like to share with everyone? I remember my first Team Bike Challenge experience....it inspired me to get a new bike and to start riding for transportation a lot more than I had before. Are you having a similar experience? Are you still riding now that the challenge is over? We're curious-- please share your stories here!

And thanks to all participants, especially Don Lubach, our most excellent guest blogger.
