About Us

The Bicycle Commuter Contest Began in 1988 as a challenge between a few workplaces in Olympia with 30 people participating. Since then, the event has grown up along with its level of participation, with a record year in 2008 of 1,488 participants, and 1623 registered so far for 2009. The Bicycle Commuter Contest is now a countywide event, and anyone who lives or works in Thurston County can participate.

The contest assists in building a sustainable bicycle culture by encouraging new riders to try bike commuting for a month rather than the usual bike to work day/week event, thus helping them develop the habit of bike commuting.

2006 was the first year Intercity Transit took the lead in organizing the contest. Thanks to the generous support of volunteers, business sponsors and supporters and most of all, contest participants, the Bicycle Commuter Contest is enjoying its 22nd year!

The purpose of this blog shall be to inform in detail about special events/promotions that lead up to the contest, provide resources and information about safe bicycle commuting along with community updates on bicycle commute related information.
