Ride Into Spring

This March, riders across Jersey will be building their bike confidence and winning prizes!

As we emerge from winter and look towards the Bike Month Challenge in May, it’s time to dust off our bikes and Ride into Spring. 🌼 

Ride into Spring is all about getting your bike out of the shed, giving it some love, logging your first ride and setting goals to keep you riding into summer. 

Here’s how it works

From 1 to 31 March, riders in Jersey will be in with a chance to win locally sourced prizes, like a brand new e-bike, simply by riding their bikes. 

Any kind of bike ride counts, whether it’s a 10-minute spin around the park or the daily commute. 

Logging one ride will automatically enter you into the prize draw, and the more days you ride, the more chances you have to win!

Once you’ve been out for your first ride, log it on your profile to enter the draw.

Jersey events

There will be mini events and pop-ups during March for you to test out bikes, go on organised cycle rides, and grab a free banana on your commute to work. Updates will be posted on the Events page.

By the time the Bike Month challenge begins in May, you will be riding with more confidence and be ready for the challenge (possibly with a brand new e-bike)!
