May is Bike Month, and OSU's Spring Bike Challenge runs from May 1-31. 

All biking skill levels are welcome!  Form a team of friends, co-workers or classmates and ride your bikes to win.  

Prizes:

First and Second Place team members will each receive a gift card for bike service or gear.  Ride your way to the top of the leaderboard and treat yourselves to a little biking boost!

Third Place team members will each receive a prize TBA.  

Forming a team:

  • New teams, please fill out a team registration.
  • To participate, all team members need to register for ZAP* (that’s how we keep track of scores).
  • Team captains are in charge of registering a team and communicating roster changes to Transportation@oregonstate.edu 
  • Team minimum: 4 members
  • Team maximum: 10 members 
  • Deadline for new teams or roster changes: May 15, 2024

Pro tip: Look for fun ways to encourage each other – it makes a difference! 

 How the bike challenge works:

  • The teams with the highest number of ZAPs* win!
  • You can each get 1 ZAP per day that you bike  - rain or shine and even on weekends!
  • More people = more ZAPs for your team.
  • In the event of a tie in team ZAPs, the team with the higher "inspirational" score wins (1 point for every “sometimes” rider, and 2 points for every “never” rider on that team)

*ZAP is the biking rewards program for the Corvallis Campus.  You can participate year-round, and spring is a great time to get started.
