it's been fun, though with the cold it is hard to get people out. we'll try again in the spring
Very nice! The Garmin Connect is a nice touch. Cold weather commuting is good as long as there's no snow or ice (for me) - there's a sense of achievement in a sub-freezing commute.

We even have monthly meets to exchange ideas and stuff. So if you can start it, go for it!
That's a great idea, to tap the Green factor: Going Green is a side-effect of my commuting. Since my youngest got her license, I let her have the car and only use it on weekends. Commuting is a fitness activity for which happens to be a never-ending source of fun. Sounds like it wouldn't hurt to package it as a Green initiative and submit to the big boss man.
