This April, from April 1 to April 30, nearly 1,500 cyclists all around the world are participating in 30 Days of Biking, a social media-centric event that issues a simple challenge: Bike somewhere every day. The distance and time don’t matter—where and how far you ride is up to you. To the store, around the block, 20 miles. Have at it.
Then, share your adventures online and with the world: Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Flickr, Daily Mile, snail mail, bottles in the ocean. Take photos, issue tweets, write blog entries. By participating in 30 Days of Biking, you join a worldwide community of cyclists who will encourage you along the way.
30 Days of Biking was created in 2010 by two dudes (Patrick Stephenson, @patiomensch; Zachariah Schaap, @zachamon) in Minneapolis, Minn., using only blood, sweat, bike grease, and Twitter. So far, the challenge has reached more than 87 countries, including Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and more. We believe biking enriches life, builds community, and preserves the Earth.
