100 Mile Challenge returns with new awards!
The Reddy Team, in partnership with Independent Health, is adding more awards for folks who top 100 miles this year on WNY’s homegrown bikeshare network.
This year, we’re introducing a limited edition REDDY sweater or tote bag that can be earned through pedaling miles on the bikeshare network!
Launched in 2023, The Reddy Bikeshare started the 100 Mile Challenge as way to give back and connect with Western New Yorkers who routinely mix in biking on their way to work, a lunch break, errands, or to connect with their favorite parts of Western New York. Its often users like these who inspire more people to bike.
Like every season, our team emails users who cross 100 bikeshare miles with congratulations and a note that their account earned $10 riding credit at the beginning of each month. Beginning May 1, we’re doing the same, but also inviting them to order a limited edition sweater or tote bag! This prize will be limited to the first 50 people who complete the order form.
How to participate & earn:
If not already active, renew or register for Reddy Bikeshare
An annual pass is usually the way to go, as it’s only $0.01 per minute for a pedal bike and $0.10 per month for a REDDY+ Bike
Unlock a Reddy Bike using your smart phone’s SoBi App & and make sure its logged into your account
Users can also request a tap card to unlock a bike without a smartphone.
At the beginning of each month, our staff reviews the miles logged and emails users who crossed over 100 miles Year-To-Date.
Our 100 Mile Challenge contest closes at the end of September, and we’ll be ordering all swag for folks to pick up at our Biketober Bash, TBD in mid-October. We’ll have more awards to give out then, including to our leaderboard winners of who pedaled the most miles. There will be other ways to pick up the tote bag or sweater if folks cannot make the free party.
Our goal this year is to reach 130 Western New Yorkers passing the 100-mile threshold! Help us reach new heights!
