On this Earth Day, the League of American Bicyclists recognized Toole Design Group with a Gold Bicycle Friendly Business (BFB) award for leading America toward a greener future.
We are a company that fully embraces bicycling as a mode of transportation, as well as a daily recreational activity. By rewarding people who walk, bike and use transit, Toole Design Group has been able to achieve very high levels of participation. Company-wide, over 85% of our employees are daily bike/walk/transit commuters.
Another fun thing we’ve been involved in for the past two years is the Endomondo National Bicycling Challenge. During last year’s challenge period (May-August), Toole Design Group earned FIRST PLACE among mid-sized businesses, logging 20,817 miles, saving 19,055 pounds of carbon dioxide, and burning 237,880 kcal. We’re off to a roaring start again this year – since May 1st, our staff have already logged 7,000 miles. Among our top ten riders, we have a 50/50 split: five women and five men. Ride on!
