1. Breakout Session #2 – South Room
More Bike Fun at Work
You catch more new commuters with donuts than with preaching. Hear fun
examples from workplaces that are great at demonstrating the number one
reason to get on a bike: it’s fun. Leave with accessible tools for increasing
bike fun (and bike commuting) at your workplace. Whether or not you’re fun
now, you’ll be more fun after this workshop.
