You’ve made the decision to ride this winter and we can help you meet your goals! Sign up for the Explore Bike Edmonton Challenge to track your progress, get personalized help, and earn a chance to win useful equipment! This program is generously sponsored by Alberta Ecotrust.

Here are some of the perks of participating in the Explore Bike Edmonton Challenge:

1. The first 25 people to join will receive free pogies (aka bar mitts), which can be very effective in keeping your hands warm.

2. If you’re choosing to ride instead of drive, you may be eligible for our studded tire incentive. Future giveaways also include multiuse tools and bicycle lights.

3. Receive advice from people with decades of experience and their various approaches to winter cycling. You can choose advice that works for you. You’ll have your questions answered by email, you can watch Bike Edmonton winter cycling video clips, or you can sign up to attend our online panel discussion for conversations with new and experienced cyclists.

4. Guided winter rides, one-on-one or in small groups, practicing practical skills to make your winter journeys safer and more enjoyable. 

5. Your online account records your kilometers ridden, including calories expended and CO2 emissions avoided.
