Get some exercise, save money and help keep the air clean. Biking is a healthy alternative to driving. If you live within 5 to 7 miles of work or school, bicycle commuting may be appealing.
If you'd like to combine cycling with riding the bus, Intercity Transit makes it easy with free bike racks on all buses and vans.
Bicycle Commuter Challenge
Intercity Transit’s Bicycle Commuter Challenge (BCC) is a series of community events each winter and spring that encourages Thurston County residents of all ages and abilities to try bicycling as a means of transportation -- and gives rewards and recognition to those who do. The BCC 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. In 2006, Intercity Transit began hosting the event and it has now become one of Intercity Transit’s many programs for improving mobility and the quality of life in our community. The 2016 BCC had record participation, with over 1850 riders signing up.
