Get Reddy for 100-Mile Challenge
Reddy Bikeshare and Independent Health are excited to present our first-ever 100-Mile Challenge. We are rewarding Western New Yorkers who pedal the most steam into their summer routine. Every user who tallies 100 or more miles on a Reddy Bike between April 1 and September 15, 2023, earns a $5 rider credit and an invitation to an end-of-year Biketober Bash in October. Users with the 10 highest mileage counts win a limited-edition prize pack, and the highest scoring bicyclist wins two Buffalo Bills tickets, all provided by Independent Health.
Last year, 73 members pedaled 100 or more miles on a Reddy Bike. The folks who make up that list are typically annual pass members who live locally and make dozens—sometimes hundreds—of short trips for work or to run errands with a Reddy Bike. They may have never pedaled a Century Bike Ride in their life, but they deserve the credit of doing just that.
The contest is inspired off of the longtime Independent Health and Buffalo Bills Health & Wellness Challenge, which kicks off Monday, May 1. (Keep in mind, miles pedaled can be applied to both of these contests.)
Entering the contest is easy:
Simply unlock a Reddy Bike and start pedaling for fun, work or to visit friends. (See this link about how to sign up and use Reddy Bikeshare)
Each bike is equipped with GPS, so there’s no added work of tracking your progress.
At the end of every month, the Reddy Team will tabulate every users’ mile counts to date. We will email all users who’ve crossed the 100-mile marker with a $5 credit. We’ll give a month-by-month update on how many members have achieved the challenge.
The contest closes September 15, and every person who achieves our 100-Mile Challenge will be invited to a Biketober Bash in October—details to be announced later. At the Biketober Bash, we’ll announce and reward the folks who pedaled the top 10 highest mile counts of the season!*
(*Be sure our team will consult with users on waiving their rights to privacy before listing their name on a leaderboard.)
With the start of Bike Month, presented by Independent Health, kicking off soon, there’s multiple ways to fill in those miles on Reddy. Check GObike’s Web Calendar of 40+ events throughout the month of May, and Slow Roll Buffalo’s Calendar of free, expert-supported 10-mile bike rides that are sprinkled throughout the season.
