As part of Bay State Bike Month, we're hosting challenges to encourage you to get riding and share your love of bicycling. No matter where you live across Massachusetts, you can take part in our virtual Bike Month Challenges! 

We're hosting a month-long ride tracking challenge to encourage you to get riding this May and two social media-based challenges where you'll share photos for a chance to win prizes.

Ride Tracking Challenge

This May, track your rides with the MassBike Love to Ride Group, and each week you log 3+ trips, you'll be entered to win the weekly prize. At the end of the month, everyone who logged trips throughout the month will be entered into a grand prize drawing.

This year's grand prize is a $500 gift card from Priority Bicycles, which is enough to get yourself a new bike!

How to Participate:

1. Join MassBike's Love to Ride Group
2. Fill out the Bay State Bike Month Ride Tracking Challenge Entry Form to be eligible for prizes 
3. Log your bicycle rides on Love to Ride 
4. Watch your rides and miles add up!
