Postdoc wins a bike in this year's Bike Safety Pledge drawing

More than 210 bicyclists participated in Stanford's Bike Safety Pledge

Congratulations to Michelle Lynne Badura on winning Stanford's Bike Safety Pledge prize drawing! She is a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Medicine, Division of Hematology. She is among 212 Stanford bicyclists who pledged to wear a bike helmet for every ride, even short trips, and to follow the rules of the road while riding during National Bike Month.
"I signed the pledge because to me wearing a helmet on every ride is a no-brainer. I heard that most car accidents happen within five miles from your home, so I figured the same thing likely applies to bikes, that accidents can happen any time, even on short rides," Badura said. "To get to work, I bike to the train station in Mountain View, take Caltrain to Palo Alto, and then bike to my lab. I find that riding my bike to work feels much safer and is more enjoyable than biking in New York, where I used to live, but I still always wear a helmet!"

She won: Fuji Crosstown 4.0 bike. Retail value $359.99. Thanks to the Campus Bike Shop for donating this bike.
