Heidi Shubert won the award for Most Consistent Participant at the Gold Level for the 2009 Clear the Air Challenge. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, she was 5 months pregnant during last year’s challenge and still biked to work several times a week!
“I felt so healthy at the end of the challenge, but was glad to transition to riding the bus for the rest of the summer,” said Schubert.
Now with a 7 month old child, Schubert will be hard pressed to bus or bike as often during the 2010 Challenge, but she will be carpooling more.
“This year I’ll be carpooling with my husband as we take our daughter to daycare, and one of us will occasionally ride home by bike to give us the flexibility we need in our work schedule. There are many ways to reduce the trips we make by car and we’ll be teaching them to the next generation,” she said.
Follow Heidi’s stellar example, determine what alternative transportations options are available and how you can mix-and-match them to work with your schedule.
