2023 February Rider Challenge

 

The February Rider Challenge is back for it's seventh year! During the month of February pedal your way to prizes by simply taking a trip with us!

We’ve got some great prizes lined up so this is a month where you’ll want to be taking as many trips with Mobi by Shaw Go as possible.

If you've never ridden a bicycle during the winter here are some tips and tricks! 

What is the February Rider Challenge?

The February Rider Challenge is a month-long competition to see who can take the most trips with Mobi by Shaw Go and the top 10 members with the most rides win a prize.

What trips qualify?

You can take as many trips per day as you want, but there are a couple rules to make sure the competition is fair and fun. For a trip to qualify, the following requirements must be met:
  • A ride must be 2+ minutes long. Rides lasting 1 minute 59 seconds or less will not be counted. ​
  • A ride must be 50+ metres in distance. Rides covering 49 metres and less will not be counted. ​
  • At least 5 minutes must pass between consecutive rides. ​
  • Rides must be between 00:00 PST on Wednesday, February 1, 2023 and ends at 23:59 PST on Tuesday, February 28, 2023.
  • We will keep track of the number of trips you take and announce the top trip counts weekly on social media. To keep track of your trips, visit our Mobi by Shaw Go app or log into our website. The winners will be announced on March 1, 2023.



Get Bonus Points

Share a picture of your Mobi by Shaw Go ride on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram and you will get 1 trip added to your final count each day you share a unique picture. Make sure to tag us @mobi_bikes and use hashtag #BikesWeShare for your picture to count. Feel free to post as many pictures as you like, but you will only receive 1 bonus trip per day. A reused photo will not count.

What are the prizes?

Now for the fun part - The prizes!
