CLIF Bar Challenge: Get Your Neighbors On Their Bikes

In honor of National Bike Month and the CLIF Bar 2 Mile Challenge, we’re asking individuals and nonprofits to generate and share ideas to promote bicycling in the community. We know that biking is good for our health, the environment, and the community, so tell us how you’d use $1,000 to get your neighbors on bikes!

We’re looking for fun community event ideas— anything from a bike wash to a bike parade to a pop-up bike repair day. Share your best idea with us here and we’ll let your fellow GOOD readers choose the most “whim-cycle” and inspiring submission to win the $1,000. Note that projects must be implemented within three months of receiving the grant.

Submit a proposal from May 14 to June 11 (noon Pacific Time). From June 11 to June 25, we’ll open it up to public voting. Rally your colleagues and friends to get behind your effort and join the GOOD community in selecting the winner.

Connect with this challenge on Twitter at @GOODmkr and join the conversation via #GOODbikes.
