Agustín Agustinoy wants to change the way we think about bicycles. Instead of bikes that are big, dumb, and bulky, he wants bikes that are sleek, smart, and individualistic.

Today is the final day of the National Bike Challenge! We have a lot of reasons to celebrate the past five months, and it’s easy to see our numerical accomplishments (more than 37 million miles!) on the homepage.

Boulder, Colorado may be one of the most bike-friendly cities in the U.S., but that did not stop the City Council on Tuesday night from voting to remove the protected bike lanes on Folsom street and return the road to four lanes of vehicle traffic.
In our third edition of “Where We Ride: An Analysis of Bicycling in American Cities” we take a look at the growth of bicycle commuters throughout the country, based on new data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. We dissect broad trends, like where among large cities bike commuting is growing fastest, and take on and more granular analyses, like which cities are exploding with bike commuters by region and size.
Congratulations to all of the winners and to everyone who participated in the Challenge this year. Together we logged almost 38 million miles! Below are the winners listed by category.
