Some stats on the May 18, Bike to Work Day, from IndyCOG:

• Approximately 500-600 people attended the event downtown
• 744 bicyclists registered their commutes (529 was previous record from 2011)
• 142 were new or first-time commuters
• 395 commuters invited new riders with them (we’ll assume since the numbers don’t add up with the first-time commuters that the new commuters forgot to register)
• The registered commuters rode ~13,155 miles (round-trip)
• 28 commuters utilized IndyGo for at least part of their commute
• Over half of the registered commuters did not belong to INDYCOG, CIBA, Bicycle Indiana or HMBA. (All we can say is support your local advocacy group!)
• 20 people attended the Lunch & Learn on bicycle commuting hosted by Indiana State Department of Health
• 397 companies registered for the Corporate Challenge sponsored by BGI
