LOVE TO RIDE CHALLENGE
As Florida Bike Month comes to an end there are still a few days left to get in some additional mileage for FDOT District 4's Love to Ride Bike Challenge! The challenge is a fun, free competition between workplaces to see who can earn the most points for riding and encouraging others during March. It’s not all about who can ride the most miles, but about encouraging as many people as possible to enjoy riding their bike for health, happiness, and fun.
