May is Bike Month, and OSU's Spring Bike Challenge runs from May 1-31.
All biking skill levels are welcome! Form a team of friends, co-workers or classmates and ride your bikes to win.
Prizes:
Members of the three teams with the highest combined ZAPs will win gift certificates for service or parts at the Adventure Leadership Institute Bike Shop, right here on campus. And each winning team gets a bonus award:
- 1st place: See 'Em spoke lights + $20 gift certificate
- 2nd place: Iridescent bike wrench + $15 gift certificate
- 3rd place: Bike Love pendant/keychain + $10 gift certificate
Forming a team:
- New teams, please fill out a team registration.
- To participate, all team members need to register for ZAP* (that’s how we keep track of scores).
- Team captains are in charge of registering a team and communicating roster changes to [email protected]
- Team minimum: 4 members
- Team maximum: 10 members
- Deadline for new teams or roster changes: May 15, 2024
Pro tip: Look for fun ways to encourage each other – it makes a difference!
How the bike challenge works:
- The teams with the highest number of ZAPs* win!
- You can each get 1 ZAP per day that you bike - rain or shine and even on weekends!
- More people = more ZAPs for your team.
- In the event of a tie in team ZAPs, the team with the higher "inspirational" score wins (1 point for every “sometimes” rider, and 2 points for every “never” rider on that team)
*ZAP is the biking rewards program for the Corvallis Campus. You can participate year-round, and spring is a great time to get started.
