On Monday, May 3rd, 2004, commuter bicyclist Paul S. White, Executive Director of Transportation Alternatives, won the Bike Month NYC 2004 Commuter Race by making it from Juniors Restaurant on Flatbush and DeKalb Avenues in Brooklyn to Columbus Circle in Manhattan in 25 minutes. White beat taxi rider Jon Orcutt, Executive Director of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, by five minutes and subway rider, Gene Russianoff, Senior Attorney for NYPIRGs Straphangers Campaign, by ten minutes.
White, a regular bike commuter, reported that he was happy that his "victory proves to would-be bike commuters that getting to work by bike is fast and easy." He encouraged others to "take advantage of the good summer weather and give bike commuting a spin."
