Congratulations!

Crothers and Enchanted Broccoli Forest win Stanford’s fourth annual Bike Safety Dorm Challenge

P&TS is awarding two grand prizes—one free **charter bus trip to Lake Tahoe to each of the winning dorms: Crothers (highest number of participants) and Enchanted Broccoli Forest (highest percentage of participation). Three dorms reached 100% participation, and Enchanted Broccoli Forest was the lucky winner of the three-way-tie prize drawing. Thank you to all 1,131 students who participated in the 2013 Bike Safety Dorm Challenge. Read the press release.

Bicycle safety is a lifetime (and life) investment. Although the challenge concludes, please continue your bike safety efforts. Your exemplary behavior can protect you and also influence others to be safe, obey the law and wear a helmet, protecting our most precious asset—our brains!

**Charter bus is one bus for one weekend only to Tahoe destination. 2 night/3 day charter, drop off/pick up service. Leave on Friday afternoon and return on Sunday afternoon (times to be arranged). Maximum capacity 54. The number of charter buses awarded for the grand prize is based on number of residents in dorm — maximum of two buses. Read Challenge rules and prize details
