Greetings!

Meet Joe, aka lavela, our last and final Most Miles Biked winner! Last week Joe biked 108 miles in just 4 commutes!  
 
Joe is a passionate bike commuter who began bike commuting as a young man back in the 80's. But he didn't start consistently bike commuting until 2005 when he returned home from living abroad in the Netherlands where commuting by bike is a way of life. 

Between the months of March and October you'll find Joe riding about 3 times a week past the Great Swamp bike route to get to his job in Murray Hill. But you'll never find Joe in the same route twice; for fun he plans out different routes before he leaves so he can challenge himself.  

Joe chooses to bike because he likes the feeling of "relaxation at both ends of the day."

Joe's Bike Commuting Tip: "Just keep with it and start early when the traffic is light."

Way to go Joe! Keep pedaling!
