Biketober Starts in Three Days!

September 28, 2020 by Leave a comment

Biketober starts on Thursday, October 1st. Get ready to ride and shine! 

What’s Biketober all about? We want more people in Atlanta to rediscover riding and how it can make them healthier and happier.

How can I take part? You can take part in three ways – with a workplace, in a social team of up to eight riders or as an individual. 

Companies will compete for total points against others of a similar size – both across Atlanta and within your industry.

Social teams of up to eight riders will compete across three leaderboards for the most riding points, encourager points and total points. You can take part with a company AND with a social team.

Want to ride solo? No problem. You can compete on individual leaderboards and will enter the general prize drawings.

How can I win? It’s all about points! Logging rides and encouraging others will earn you points and help your company and social team climb the leaderboards. 

What can I win? We have an Edison Electric bike to give away as well as tons of great gear, restaurant vouchers and more! Plus, everyone who signs up before October 1 will be entered to win a $1,000 gift card from REI!

Ride anytime, anywhere in October – all rides count!

You don’t have to commute to work to take part, all types of outdoor rides count. You can ride wherever and whenever you want.
