Here’s more about their success over the last 5 years: - The School of Medicine trekked the most miles (48K!) with the Library staff coming in 2nd (21K). - The Astronomy team logged the most transport trips (1878), while 35% of the staff from the Landscape Architecture department hopped on bikes. - The Applied Physics Lab and Civil & Environmental Engineering departments are neck and neck for the most riders. And to top it off, the University placed 2nd overall in their category during the 2023 Cycle September challenge.  Congratulations on this outstanding accomplishment! ![Screenshot 2023-12-08 at 11.28.34 AM](https://blog.lovetoride.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-12-08%20at%2011.28.34%20AM.png?width=401&height=509&name=Screenshot%202023-12-08%20at%2011.28.34%20AM.png)   Here are a few great tales from the road (in both rain and shine!): ![ferry](https://blog.lovetoride.net/hs-fs/hubfs/ferry.png?width=401&height=535&name=ferry.png) *I-90 to Palouse to Cascades trail via Lake Annette bike segment* - David Koelle, May 2022   ![septu](https://blog.lovetoride.net/hs-fs/hubfs/septu.png?width=401&height=525&name=septu.png) I did 5 miles, pretty trick on city bike friendly streets Vancouver, BC, + foot brakes.
