Have you been to the Oregon Zoo? It is on top of one big hill, but that’s not stopping the Oregon Zoo Team from recruiting new riders to take the BTA’s Bike Commute Challenge with their rallying call, “One way. One day.”
Check out their video on the BTA’s Bike Commute Challenge You Tube Playlist.

New link for the video!

Sorry this version of the video was flawed. It had an incomplete web address for the BCC. We have a corrected version and will get you the link to it.
Thanks for the correction. I corrected the image link above as well!
I encourage my coworkers by looking fit and exhilarated as I pass their dumpy a*&^$ waiting for the elevator and bound up the stairs with my bike on my shoulder, then consume mass quantities of delicious food as they microwave their Lean Cuisine entree, then fly past them stewing in their cager cluster*&^% on the way out of town.
(am I shunned yet?)
Let me try that again. I meant to say that I encourage my coworkers by showing up at work looking fit and exhilarated as I bound up the stairs with my bike on my shoulder, consume astonishingly mass quantities of delicious food for lunch (well, any time delicious food presents itself*) while others pick at their Lean Cuisine entree, then – with a childlike smile on my face – fly past frowning drivers stuck in rush hour traffic.
I’m not really a “leader”, preferring to lead by example if at all.
(* So I some in to work one day, go to the lunchroom to put my sandwich in the fridge, and there – sitting in the middle of the table where people put food to share – is a whole cherry pie (!) I cut myself a fair piece and eat it with my fingers on my way back to my desk. Later I am in the lunchroom and nearly the whole pie is still there; so I cut another piece (bigger this time). By the end of the day no one else has touched it, so one more piece down the hatch. The *next* day it’s still there, so I cut one more piece, leaving the last piece (I’m not a *totally* impolite hog)).
