12/18/15, the Louisville office of Gresham Smith and Partners hosted the 2nd Annual GS&P Winter Bike Commute Challenge to support the good work of community bike shops & encourage the citizens to bike to work.
The 2-part challenge was to 1) bike to work, and 2) post a selfie #winterbikecommute #fccb #louisville to FaceBook, Twitter, or Instagram. For every qualifying post, GS&P made a donation to the Falls City Community Bikeworks!
Louisville loves this. And a similar challenge happened in Lexington on the same day, benefiting BrokeSpoke community bike shop…so it’s officially a bluegrass thing 🙂
What’s behind the informed generosity of our beloved bike santa?? In August, Gresham Smith and Partners’ Louisville office was award the Gold Level distinction as a Bicycle Friendly Business. The office staff regularly bikes to work and participates in lunch time bike rides. They’re putting the money where the mouth is, and it’s making a beautiful difference! The biking communities of Louisville and Lexington thank you, GS&P and Mike Sewell.
Scroll on for the riders’ gorgeous selfies, and the announcement of the winner of the FCCB Gratitude Raffle..
