Over the past two years more than a thousand participants have traded gasoline for FREE bagels and cream cheese in 13 towns and cities across the state: Claremont, Concord, Dover, Durham, Exeter, Hanover, Keene, Laconia, Lebanon, Littleton, Manchester, Portsmouth and Stratham.

For 2008 SABR will again sponsor or co-sponsor bike/ped commuter breakfasts in Downtown Portsmouth, Pease Tradeport, Stratham Industrial Park, Downtown Exeter, Downtown Dover, and Downtown Durham. New this year will be breakfasts in Rochester, Lee, and Milton! See this map for exact locations.

In 2007 Seacoast Bike/Walk to Work Day added a Corporate Commuter Challenge event to add some friendly competition to Bike/Walk to Work Day. The event challenges Seacoast employers to compete to see who can have the most employees ride or walk to work between May 12th and May 16th.

Winners in the Inaugural Commuter Challenge were the Timberland Company in the large employers division (200+ employees); Bottomline Technologies among the medium sized companies (16-200 employees); and the Rockingham Planning Commission for small workplaces (up to 15 employees). Congratulations!

If you'd like to get your company involved please contact us here, we'll tell you all about the corporate challenge event and get you all the support materials you need (flyers, posters, fact-sheets) to promote the event at your company!

The goals of Bike/Walk to Work Day are to promote bicycling as a healthy and safe way to get to work, decrease traffic congestion, improve air quality, and raise public awareness of opportunities to improve bike facilities around the State.

Bicycling is part of the solution to a whole range of challenges: the high cost of gasoline, traffic congestion, air pollution, rising obesity rates, and more.

Over 22% of all motor vehicle trips Americans take are less than one mile long, and 50% of the working population commutes five miles or less to work, an easily bikeable distance.

If the average person biked to work once every two weeks instead of driving, we could prevent the pollution of close to one billion gallons of gasoline from entering the atmosphere every year!

Biking or walking to work is a great way to stay in shape, and arrive at work awake and refreshed. Best of all, it’s Fun!
