All May long, the ImproveMyCommute team will be providing opportunities here for you and your family to celebrate National Bike Month!

If you send a picture of you doing any of the activities below either by yourself, or with your family, we'll send you your choice of a GDS-branded bike reflector/light, phone wallet, or reusable straw. At the end of the month, we'll draw one name for a $25 gift certificate to CityBikes!

All submissions must be sent to: ImproveMyCommute@gds.org and is only available to current GDS families, new GDS families, GDS staff, GDS alumni, and GDS community members.
