2019 February Rider Challenge

Our February Rider Challenge is back for its third year. Prizes will be awarded for most trips taken throughout the month so if you've been looking for more reasons to hop on a bike, now is the time. Forgot a non-essential ingredient for dinner? Get out there and bike for it! Think you might run out of dental floss next month? Jump on a bike and pick some up today! This February, it’s all about taking as many necessary - and unnecessary - trips as possible with Mobi by Shaw Go. You might find yourself in the running for some awesome prizes, and whether you win or not, discover that every bike ride is always worth it.

The top 5 riders who take the highest number of trips* in the month of February will win one of the below prizes. A trip is defined as a ride 2+ minutes long.
