Get Rewarded for Your Bike Commute with GoPerks

Details: Written by Sydney Leonard; Last Updated: 16 January 2015

Reinvigorate your new year's resolution to commute by bike with the GoPerks rewards program! GoPerks is a new program by GoTriangle that lets you earn points towards prizes by tracking your daily commute online. Each day of smart commuting (by bike, bus, vanpool, carpool or foot) earns a point, and each point can be used towards entries into raffles for fun, food and good times across the Triangle at retailers such as the American Tobacco Campus, North Hills, Cameron Village, and the Streets at Southpoint. The program is free but there is more than $1,000 in prizes for smart commuters who track trips between January 1 and March 31, 2015. The more smart commute trips you track, the more you earn!

Don't lose sight of the future -- spring is right around the corner. Stay a step ahead of the game and get your bicycle inspected before logging all the extra miles in a few months' time. By keeping your bicycle maintained, you insure not only a more enjoyable ride for yourself, but a safer commute for all of Raleigh.
