Maybe you've been riding to school all winter, or maybe you just rolled the bike out of the garage in celebration of spring.

You know what those kids rolling into to school parking lot in their parents’ cars have yet to learn: riding your bike keeps you in shape, your wallet full of money, and the planet healthy.

Join other students this summer in celebrating Bike Month!

Bike to School Day

If you are new to riding, try participating in Bike to School Day on May 20! Last year more than 21,000 people took to the streets of Seattle on Bike to Work/Bike to School day. Riding to school is easy and fun! Plan your route ahead of time if you’ve never done it before. You can organize a group of friends to ride to school together, and ask your school’s PTA to supply you with prizes or snacks. Make signs or posters, hold a lunchtime safety class, but most importantly, ride and have fun!

The Month-Long Challenge!

Once you have registered, you can log your miles on the Bike to School Challenge website. In order to qualify for the competition, you only have to ride to school five times over the course of the entire month. Of course, the more you ride, the higher you rank, and the higher your chances are of winning awesome prizes!!

The Rules

In order to register, you must be in 6th-12th grade and have a valid email address. The first 50 students to complete their registration will receive super cool “I’m on a BIKE” T-shirts!

You can only enter trips to and from school, not errands or personal trips taken throughout the day.

You must enter your miles in order to get credit for them! Don’t do all that riding for nothing! You have until midnight on Wednesday to enter your miles for the previous week. No bike computer? No problem. Use this online tool to see how far you rode.

Prizes

We will be holding a drawing for lots of cool prizes at the end of the month. Your name will be entered into the drawing each time you ride, so the more bike trips you take the better your chances are of winning!
