Do you get points for riding home as well? So for a round trip is it 60 points?

We don't differentiate between half and whole trips as most of them are round trip. (Once every few weeks, we'll meet our families for an activity.)

We had also considered mileage, but decided that it's more about getting out on the bike than racking up miles.

How many points for driving to Starbucks for something hot?

In our model, there are no points for Starbucks as there are three across the street. And yes, they're always busy.

You get points for riding your bike to Starbucks, if you work at Starbucks. Otherwise you lose points for ordering the triple non-fat mocha with extra whip.

Based on the weather a few weeks ago, we added a four point award for riding if the morning temperature is above 80°F.

A triple non-fat seven-pump mocha with extra whip costs you three points for the irony. It's the same as ordering the triple Whopper and large fries with a diet Coke. One does not balance the other two!
