How do I join the challenge?

Simply go to bikemonth.nyc/register and sign up. You’ll then be able to join our Strava club or manually log your miles through the site. That’s it—you’re in!

Do I need a Strava account to participate?

Nope! We encourage you to join Strava and easily record your miles as you ride as well as connect with other Bike Month participants in the community but you may also log your miles manually on our website. Whatever works best for you.

What are the prizes?

There are three ways to win this Bike Month! To start, anyone who bikes 20 miles or more during May and logs them through Strava on the Transportation Alternatives Club page or via our form becomes eligible to win a custom Priority Bicycle courtesy of NYC Ferry worth $999!

Second, if you ride NYC Ferry to one of our Bike Anywhere Day tents on May 15, you will receive 30 percent off NYC Century Bike Tour tickets as well as a free gift.

Finally, top riders with the most miles in the month of May will be crowned Bike Month royalty and win additional awesome prizes.

Can I participate if I don’t live in NYC?

Yes! As long as you register and log your miles during May, you’re eligible to participate—no matter where you ride. However, unfortunately the NYC Ferry bicycle courtesy of Priority Bikes is only eligible for pickup in NYC so it is only to open to US residents only.

That said, the challenge is all about celebrating biking in NYC, so we hope you’ll join us on the streets if you can!

When does the challenge start and end?

The challenge runs from May 1 to May 31, 2025. All rides during this time count toward your total.

What kinds of rides count toward my mileage?

All types of rides count—commutes, weekend cruises, errands, joyrides. If you’re pedaling, it counts!

Can I ride an e-bike?

Yes! E-bike riders are welcome.

Do I have to ride all 20 miles in one day?

Nope! You can accumulate miles all month long at your own pace.

How will winners be selected?

We’ll randomly pick one winner from everyone who rides 20+ miles to win the custom Priority Bicycle.

Bike Anywhere day winners will receive their discounts and prizes upon arrival on May 15.

Top mileage earners will also receive special prizes — so keep those wheels turning!

How will I know if I’ve won?

We’ll notify winners by email in early June. Make sure you register with an email you check regularly!
