Today, K-SWISS' premium sports heritage has expanded from tennis footwear, to also lifestyle, running, training, nautical, and free-running footwear that stands up to the performance demands of world-class athletes and trendsetters alike. K-SWISS was one of the first company's to step up to the plate in support of The Green Athlete.
Trek: “Forty percent of car trips are less than two miles. That is easily, clearly, a bikeable distance,” says Rebecca Anderson, Advocacy Director for the Trek Bicycle Corporation. "The bicycle is a simple solution." Trek, the largest American bicycle manufacturer, is focusing on trips under two miles in its campaign, “One World, Two Wheels.” The campaign seeks to increase the percentage of short trips made by bicycle in the United States from one percent to five percent by 2017. Americans make 65 percent of their very short trips, those under a mile, in their cars. These short trips are also the most inefficient, as ‘cold starts’ burn more gasoline and emit more pollutants. Trek is proud to support The Green Athlete.
