Great Commuter Challenge a Great Commuter Success!

The morning of May 12, 2008 saw a great coup for the perception of transportation in the Twin Cities. Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak on his bike, Ramsey County Commissioner Toni Carter on foot and riding transit, and Roadguy (also known as Star Tribune transportation reporter Jim Foti) in his car made their way through an urban obstacle course from St. Paul's Merriam Park Community Center to the Minneapolis Central Library plaza.

You can read all the details about the event in Transit for Livable Communitie's press release here:

Jim Foti did a write up of the event both for his blog and in print in the Star Tribune (with a full page spread!). You can read the blog post here (text is the same as the print version, plus pictures):
