EWI Wheelers was organized to participate in Bike to Work Week. A total of five riders participated the first year. With double the participation, we could have won our division that year. We more than doubled participation to 17 riders the next year and won.
Perhaps more impressive than our performance in the Bike to Work Challenge was what happened afterwards. The average number of bicycle commuters jumped to about eight per day. Once people tried this, many discovered that they actually enjoyed it and continued to ride to work several days per month.
EWI received a Bicycle Friendly Business Silver Award from the League of American Bicyclists in 2012.

Lunch run. It clouded up, so the dampness with the mid 40's temps certainly can drive a chill. Still, with the right gear, pleasant. • 5 mile errand
Truly I am becoming acclimated. 32F this morning, and just a leisurely ride into work! • 5 mile commute
