David meets Goliath in the Bike/Walk Challenge

Size isn’t every thing.  That’s what the staff of Jolley’s Alternative Wheels are out to prove by issuing a Challenge to City Hall during the week of Monday, May 30^th to June 3^rd.  The staff of  Jolley’s believe they can out-walk or out-bike the staff of City Hall for one week.  With only eight employees, this definitely makes the staff of the bike shop David to the City’s Goliath.

The 3^rd Annual Bike Walk to Work Challenge, launched on May 16^th, runs until June 24^th.  It was created to offer commuters a way to incorporate physical activity into their busy work day by walking or biking to work or school.  It’s also a chance to win great weekly and grand prizes.  For each commute one way, participants enter their names in a weekly draw.  The winners for week #1 of the Bike/Walk to work are:

Brent Jeffries, Fulford Hardware           - 10 downtown shopping dollars

Ruth Grahlman, Staples                         - The New Lighthearted Cookbook
