494 Commuter Services- Bike2Benefits

The I-494 corridor includes the cities of Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Minnetonka, Richfield and Plymouth.  

Program Overview:

Get to work under your own power! Bike or walk to work at least once per week for eight weeks. Or, if you live too far to bike all the way, bike or walk to a bus stop. It's just as healthy! Choose 8 consecutive weeks between now and December 30, 2007. In case of bad weather, you may make up missed activity in subsequent weeks. Let us know how you're doing at 4 weeks and 8 weeks.

Why should you participate? For your health!

• Every 30 minutes that a person spends in a car translates into a 3 percent greater chance of being obese.
• Did you know that just 3 hours of biking per week can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke by 50 percent?
