May is Bike Month

May is Bike month returns for 2023! 

This May, thousands of individuals and businesses across the Sacramento region will be enjoying all the benefits of bike riding.

What is May is Bike Month all about?

In May, individuals and workplaces compete across the region to earn the most points by riding and encouraging others to do the same.

You can ride anywhere, anytime during May - just a 10-minute ride is enough to take part.

1. Enjoy a ride
2. Log it here or connect your favourite cycling app (Strava or Map My Ride)
3. Earn points, climb the leaderboards and win prizes!

Registration is opening soon, keep an eye on your inbox for more info!

How can I take part?

You can take part in three ways

• As an individual - you'll enter the drawings for prizes and compete with others on the individual leaderboards
• With a workplace - your company will compete on the workplace leaderboards to earn the most points. You'll enter the drawings for individual prizes and help your company win too. Learn more about taking part with a workplace.
• With a club/group - clubs aren't eligible for any workplace prizes but are a great way to keep track of how much riding you and your friends can do as part of the challenge

How do I earn points?

Earn points as an individual by:

• Riding
• Encouraging others to ride - (learn more about encouraging)

If you're competing as part of a workplace, your workplace points will be the sum of all points earned by every employee taking part at your company on Love to Ride.

You don't have to be a bike commuter to take part - all types of rides count towards your score!

Points mean prizes!

Riding and encouraging others will earn you points, and your points put you in the running for the amazing prizes.
