The Louisville Metro Bike Louisville website is supporting the idea of Louisvillians taking the 2 Mile Bicycle Challenge.  This concept was created and is being promoted by the energy bar company ClifBar. From the Bike Louisville website:

The idea is simple: with 4 out of every 10 trips lasting two miles or less, each of us has a great opportunity to cut way back on car trips without sacrificing much time or expending too much effort. Two miles on a bike isn't far, and, when you're just going to return a library book there's no reason to take your entire car with you.

What a great idea!  Of course, I hope that folks will be bicycling in a safe and responsible manner. For those who haven't been on a bike for a while, or need help learning how to bike safely around traffic, taking a class such as Bicycling for Louisville's Confident Cycling course would be a great start. </shameless plug>

ClifBar's 2 Mile Bicycle Challenge website has lots of handy tools to assist folks in meeting this challenge.
