Bicycle Garage Indy has the amenities necessary for people to bike to work - secure bicycle storage, shower facility, place to store clothing, support of leadership and encouraging bicycling is what we do as a business. But we wanted more employee participation in bicycling to work, so we sweetened the deal and created a program to allows employees to earn BGI Gift Cards through bicycling to work. Not only do they save money by not driving, but they earn $0.15/mile which they can use to purchase bicycle accessories (when they apply their employee discount it is more like $0.25/mile). In 2009, Mark Degunya gets the top mileage prize with 4265 miles. Patrick Weller passed Frank Radaker in mileage to claim the 2nd spot. Toby Holsman held on to top spot for number of trips with 364 trips. Number of trips was fairly close - Just 57 trips separate the top three: Toby Holsman, Mark Degunya and Kelly Crimmins.
During 2009, 32 people commuted by bike at least once. We all collectively biked 2396 trips and 19254 miles.
We started tracking mileage in March 2008 and since that time, more than 30 employees have biked to work. BGI bicycle commuters have logged 45,525 miles, saving 1821 gallons of gasoline and 36,420 poinds of carbon dioxide while making the world a greener place.
