The University of Washington Loves to Ride!

It's clear the staff at the University of Washington loves cycling: since 2018, 1200+ individuals from 19 different departments have participated in 17 Love to Ride events and challenges!

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!

I did 5 miles, pretty trick on city bike friendly streets Vancouver, BC, + foot brakes. Scenic route! I'll take it as septuagenarian???  - Shelley Hartnett, October 2023
