I don't know how many people already know about this or anything. I haven't seen it on the Forms anywhere yet.

Log your ride
Compete
Meet more people
Make teams

More competition to those who have none

I guess you could say its a Fantasy Foot Ball (they say that on UrbanVelo but I wouldn't know.)

It was created by Civia so I would believe it's more based for commuters. It's also very simple to uses.

The only thing I can see that is bad is, there is no way to prove that you actually road those mile, such as right now there is a person that has that they road 520mile just today, along with a 200. So it could be stupid if people just cheat like that. Witch that is just more on the extreme side.

looks interesting, someone should totally start a forum team. I'd join it, would help keep me motivated to commute through the winter.

amckimmey

A forum team would be awesome, Commuter Forum Specific team would be best. So when we could complete the people that are mainly on other parts of the Forum.

scottbot84

I think only people from IL should be allowed to join,since we seem to be the only ones interested

amckimmey

True

I set up a team on this for my work, only a couple of us actually bike commute, but it's fun and you get a 10% discount at some bike shops after finishing 7 commutes.

But hey, I'm all for joining a commute team, I'll represent the northwest.

FredOak

Does look interesting...will have to watch this post to see if we get things going.

ZombieButcher

I joined up last night. Seems pretty cool.

scottbot84

I joined up too last night (For GreenLightRide), but its no fun unless you have others to ride against.

Is the bike commute challenge going to continue into October?

amckimmey

What do you mean?

Tobias Greenich

I might as well join up on GreenLight. Arizona looks underrepresented.

scottbot84

the site says "Who can bike more in September?", just wasn't sure if that meant it was a one month event.

eagleb

I think it's only for September. I just stumbled upon it one day. They've had their servers crash a couple times already due to so many people logging their miles at once, so I would think they'd continue it.

nmanhipot

I've signed up. nmanhipot, same as always.

How 'bout I go ahead and make a BF commuters team?

nmanhipot

I have no patience. I created a Bike Forums Commuters team. If you can read this, feel free to sign up.

scottbot84

You have to send an invitation to join your team. I had to look around to figure that out. scottbot84, same as here.

Tobias Greenich

I'm joined as Tobias Greenich, oddly enough. :3

gmule

Ok I signed up as well same screen name as here

amckimmey

Well add me on there. Same sn. I would guess alot of people do that. hha

ZombieButcher

ditto on the screen name

FredOak

FredOak...I'm signed up.

Belazriel

Signed up as Belazriel....but accented differently...yeah...definitely not just using the same screen name everywhere Why is it set up that you need to get invited rather than ask to be allowed in a group.

nmanhipot

Invites sent to:
scottbot84
Tobias Greenich
gmule

amckimmey (missed your post on the first round)

Thanks scottbot84 for the tip! If you want to join Bike Forums Commuters, just post your greenlight user name once you sign up.

You guys want to do the Anything Goes league? It starts on October 9th. We could start a commute league challenge? Thoughts?

amckimmey

I wish there was a way to set up better communication on GreenLight, maybe even group control over it. We should totally do the league.

Suggestion, how you took the BF logo add a little "Commuter" under it.

Hopefully they at more features.

scottbot84

I'm all for the anything goes league. It will be interesting to watch as this site develops

. Thanks nmanhipot for finding this site lets see if we can get things moving!!
