Biking is a healthy, fun and environmentally-sound way to commute to work or class, and can save you money as well. Even though the weather is getting colder, there’s no need to put your bike in the basement or garage. With a little preparation, you can join the many University of Iowa faculty, staff and students who bike year-round. To encourage and reward winter biking, the Office of Sustainability is once again presenting the Winter Warrior Challenge Nov. 27 to Dec. 10.
     This year, we've made it simple to take the challenge; just submit your trips to the Winter Warrior website for a chance to win prizes. In addition, submit photos of your winter biking fun and post on social media with the hashtag #UIwinterbike for additional prizes. 
     Before venturing outside, be sure to check road conditions, layer clothing, and maintain your bike. See these tips for a safe ride to work, class or on a trail. Layer up, winterize your bike, and register today!
