" Here's their lobby with the fleet. It's what we used to call potential energy back in the beaker and bunsun burner classes. We think it's great that the skate world is getting into bikes...and here's a sound bite from their program. " In an attempt to encourage healthy and environmentally conscious living practices among its employee base, Podium Distribution has launched the Pedal To Podium program. Pedal To Podium encourages employees to ride bikes to work and lunch instead of driving their cars.

According to the California Institute of Technology, cars emit an average of one pound of CO2 for every mile driven. Multiply that figure by millions of cars driving thousands upon thousands of miles a day and you’ve got a whole lot of heat trapping CO2 being emitted into the earth’s atmosphere.

“Preserving our environment is everyone’s responsibility and every little bit counts,” says Podium VP Brian Dunlap.“Pedal To Podium will help us do our part by providing special incentives to those employees that bike instead of drive.”

Employees who choose to bike to work can take part in the Pedal To Podium incentive program. Benefits include gift cards to local bike shops, iTunes and even cash.

Aside from the environmental benefits, Pedal To Podium also encourages healthy living through exercise. Daily exercise is proven to have dramatic effects on personal health, personal well being, and has been shown to improve brain function. In addition, the average person loses 13lbs their first year of commuting by bike and just three hours of bicycling per week can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%.

In 1964, 50% of kids rode to school and the obesity rate was 12%. In 2004, 3% rode to school and the obesity rate was 45%. Between 1960 and today the average weight of a 6-11 year old has increased
by 11 lbs." That's just a sound bite.......check it all out right here PEDAL TO PODIUM.
