What is Ride 5 and the Bike Month Challenge?

The Bike Month Challenge is all about helping more people discover all the benefits of riding bikes. This year, we’re launching the Ride 5 initiative to encourage riders of all levels to set goals, stay motivated, and ride more often.

How does it work?

The Bike Month Challenge aims to meet riders where they are in their riding journey. In addition to the app, our highly customised emails, badges, Quick Courses, and tips articles will help you overcome any barriers to riding you may have and will motivate you to ride more.

Here’s how to take part in the Bike Month Challenge:

• Download Love to Ride and create your account. You’ll answer quick questions that assess your rider level: new, occasional or regular rider
• Log rides automatically using the app. Or, you can sync another riding app, or log rides manually on your profile
• Encourage others using the unique link on your profile or through the messages in your emails. If someone clicks on your link and rides, you’re automatically named as their encourager
• Ride solo, with your cycling group or join your workplace to ride up the leaderboard with your co-workers

The Bike Month Challenge is an inclusive cycling challenge that is open to everyone. We’re here to help you unlock the joys of riding a bike and help you reach your personal health and carbon reduction goals.
