In Oregon we have something similar: http://www.bikecommutechallenge.com/oregon

 

A few people at my work participated in Sept, but not many. I am trying to drum up more participation next fall with offers of free beer mixed with peer pressure to get out of the car.

 

If you dress appropriately, you will not be overly sweaty when you get to work. If you can stand being cold for the first 5-10 min, you can warm-up to just the right temp w/out overheating. I take my work clothes in a small back pack. Get full fenders and gore-tex for the winter.

 

Pros: Save $$ by not buying gas, get your workout done while riding, and feel smug while riding past the SUVs in traffic.

Cons: You might start to have feelings of hate toward cell-phone-talking-soccer-moms-in-SUVs who drift into the bike lane.

 

I bike 5 days/week, 2,000 miles/yr and have definitely seen a difference in my stamina on slogtastic cascade volcano climbs.
