Oak Park businesses are invited to submit a picture of employees taking part in National Bike to Work Week. Submitted photos will be posted on the Pleasant District Association Facebook Page the following week. Once posted, friends and fans can vote for their favorite picture by “liking” it. The business whose photo receives the most “likes” by 12:00pm on Friday, May 24th, 2013 will be declared the Bike to Work Week Photo Challenge Winner. The winning business will be given a bike friendly gift pack and, most importantly, the soon-to-be-coveted Bike To Work Week Photo Challenge Trophy.
