Hi Anna, I know the feeling. It can be really tough to get people involved. Have you tried asking them why they're not interested? Perhaps you could arrange a lunchtime ride and then help folks create a profile and log the ride right then and there? Is there another organization you could try competing with? Maybe that would help stoke the flame a little. Props to you for continuing to try... they'll come around!

Kurt Alderson Next year get a head start on it. Talk to HR - they may help with incentives, too. Plus you'll get some cred.
