Did you know that 40 percent of urban trips in the U.S. are less than two miles… but 90 percent of that travel is done by car?

Do you want to have fun, fight climate change, and help fund bicycle and pedestrian advocacy?

Well, this summer and fall, the Alliance for Biking & Walking is partnering with CLIF BAR to replace 100,000 short car trips with healthy, pollution-free bicycle travel — and you can help.

Returning for a second year, the Alliance is excited to once again lead the Gold Team in the nationwide 2 Mile Challenge. The 2 Mile Challenge is CLIF BAR’s innovative, online effort to fight climate change by encouraging bicycle travel for short trips. In the U.S., 40 percent of all urban trips are two miles or less, but 90 percent of those short distances are made by automobile. CLIF BAR started the 2 Mile Challenge to build community among current bicyclists, encourage more citizens to travel on two wheels and support nonprofits that are working to increase active transportation.
