Salem- Keizer Bike Commute Challenge Results

The results are in! Last night at Portland City Hall, the BTA announced the winners.

One Salem firm and one person who works in Salem won statewide awards.

In the small bike shops category, South Salem Cycleworks won with a 84.8% commute rate.

And the Brian Reynolds Distance Award, given to the commuter with the highest mileage, Chris Bell, in the Salem ODOT office, won with a staggering 1,828 miles in 21 days of commuting. He biked daily from Portland - and joined us last month for Breakfast on Bikes!

Here's all the results by city.

In the Salem area there were:
401 riders total
164 new riders
4550 total commutes
39,036 total miles

In another post we'll have some comparisons of 2008/09 numbers and winners in the business-to-business challenges.

Update: There were five challenges issued!

Richmond Elementary wins over Parrish Middle School
Oregon Department of Agriculture wins over Education
Oregon Water Resources wins over Oregon Parks & Recreation
Oregon Department of Energy wins over Veterans Affairs
Oregon Legislature wins over Veterans Affairs
Northwest Rehabilitation Associates wins over Oregon State Hospital

The number of riders increased by 4% over 2008, which is the same statewide. The number of companies participating in Salem was the same, though statewide it increased by 16%. 41% of riders said they were first-time commuters.

Interestingly, if 41% were new, and total participation increased by 4%, then lots of folks who participated last year declined to participate again. Not sure whether that means they aren't riding or the BCC wasn't attractive to them this year. We'll have a better idea after the bike count numbers come in.
