Signing up for the Austin Commuter Challenge at City Hall

After their noon press conference today, the Austin Commuter Challenge has officially been launched. You can sign up as an individual or as part of a team. There was talk about maybe forming a League of Bicycling Voters team, for example.

So now that the site is up and launched, go do it! We were thinking about forming an A2W team but I think it would be more fun to tag on to another organization’s effort. If you’re forming a team, let us know and we can help publicize it.

I just signed up (mesgdesign), and it was quick and easy. One thing to note is that it’s a little confusing to look for local teams at the moment. Hopefully we can get some clarification from Bicycle Sport Shop on how that part really works.
