Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

The 2017 National Bike Challenge offers a free, improved platform to log rides, build bicycling community and culture and engage in friendly competition. New features, such as personalized referral links, allow riders to easily invite their friends, family and coworkers to ride with them. Challenge participants will use the Strava platform to record their commuting and recreational miles, and statistics and leaderboards will then appear on the new http://nationalbikechallenge.org site. Strava allows municipalities and organizations to advocate for bicycle infrastructure and safer streets for people who bike using Strava heatmap data.

According to Bill Nesper, the League’s Interim Executive Director, “The Challenge brings together individuals, businesses, universities and communities to support our goal of creating a Bicycle Friendly America for everyone."
