Hi Megan,
Here are some resources to consider.
1. The (US) federal law (HR1424, from 2008) that has created a financial incentive for employers across the US to support bike-commuting employees: http://www.commuteconnection.com/assets/pdf/Bicycle%20Commuter%20Federal%20Benefit.pdf
2. A national (US) challenge to get active on both individual and group scales: http://www.presidentschallenge.org/
3. An example of a friendly competition sponsored by an air quality management district for employers throughout the district to improve air quality & employee health: http://www.greatraceforcleanair.com/
4. Another example of an across-the-board competition for Bike to Work Day: http://www.youcanbikethere.com/
Thanks for the question.
