Guidance Takes Part in Bike to Work Day!

Once again, Guidance Green rallied employees to bike to work for the annual event.  Many who embraced the idea and left their cars at home, were welcomed at the office with a replenishing breakfast.

During lunchtime, Guidance employees were also treated to a tutorial on repairing tires and other potential cycling mishaps.  

And to cap off the event, participating cyclists were entered in to a drawing to win an Eco Friendly Timbuktu Backpack and a pair of Rechargeable Bike Speakers.  

Check out the days festivities here!
