Picture of the Week from the National Bike Challenge

One of the best things about bicycling is seeing the world up close and personal, rather than speeding through it behind the wheel of a car. With more than 6 million miles logged so far, the 28,000 participants in the National Bike Challenge have certainly seen a lot — and we’ve launched a Picture of the Week series to capture some of those memorable moments and everyday experiences.

This week, Amber Travsky in Wyoming sent me not one, but two, incredible photos. “I have the enviable opportunity to be able to use my mountain bike in my work as a wildlife biologist,” she wrote. “So, not only do I get in my bike miles, but I also get paid for it. Here are two photos I took while working last week.”

Talk about up close and personal!
