Getting to Work by Bike

Is your commute to work starting to drive you crazy? Maybe it's time you traded in your car keys for your bike helmet.

Not only will you be doing your body and the environment a service by commuting by bike but the Bicycle Commuter Act can help get you a few extra dollars too.

Commuter Challenge

Billings celebrates active transportation during the Commuter Challenge in late spring. Several community partners come together to organize the Commuter Challenge and businesses support it as well with incentives and freebies. Check back for more information on the 2019 Commuter Challenge. 		 League-info-BikeCommuting_thumb.jpg
