Is that cheating? I’ll go the extra mile to rack up kilometers. I’d like to see Edmonton’s total km be similar to cities of comprible size. I think it’s a great way to encourage people to try on evironmentally friendly commuting. Especially in a northern town, where not everyone is excited to cycle in the winter. You can record anything but single-occupancy vehicle travel at the Commuter Challenge website, www.commuterchallenge.ca, for the days of June 3 to June 8.

Show your stuff!
