Tampa Bay Bike Challenge 2021
Read on to find out all about the Tampa Bay Bike Challenge, happening from March 1-31, 2021!
This March, individuals and businesses across the region will be enjoying all the benefits of bike riding.
What's the Tampa Bay Bike Challenge all about?
The Tampa Bay Bike Challenge is a fun, free competition between workplaces to see who can earn the most points for riding and encouraging others during March. It’s not all about who can ride the most miles, but about encouraging as many people as possible to enjoy riding their bike for health, happiness and fun.
Participants earn points for riding their bikes and encouraging family, friends and co-workers to join in. Points count towards their workplace’s total and helps them climb the leader board! There are great prizes that individuals and teams can qualify for by riding their bikes during the Tampa Bay Bike Challenge.
Here’s what you need to know about the Challenge:
- It’s a fun, free competition between workplaces to see which can earn the most points in March
- Individuals only have to ride for ten minutes to earn points and be entered into prize drawings
- Encouragement is at the core of the Challenge and is the best way to earn the most points
- Everyone can join in – it doesn’t matter if you ride every day or haven’t been on a bike in years (or ever – we’ve had people learn to ride during our Challenges before!)

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