Are You Ready for The Challenge?

In honor of Bike Month, we wanted to let you know about the National Bike Challenge.

It's a great time to try something new on your bike. Consider a simple, local challenge, like riding to work one morning a week or gathering some younger friends to cycle to the ice cream shop.

Think functional. Think FUN!

What is the Challenge?

The National Bike Challenge is a nationwide FREE event uniting thousands of current bicyclists while encouraging new riders. Challenge yourself, your colleagues and your community to cycle while competing on a local, state and national level. The Challenge's goal is to register 50,000 riders to pedal 30 million miles from May 1, 2014 until September 30, 2014.

Who is organizing the Challenge?

The lead sponsor is Scott Naturals® Brand and it's organized and presented by the League of American Bicyclists.
