You can even sync your Strava account to automatically log trips. As you log more miles, you\u2019ll see the money you save on gas, the carbon emissions you avoid, and the calories you burn. The more you bike, the more you win!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why participate in the Challenge?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If biking is new to you, there&#8217;s never been a better time to get started. The workplace and community-based teams of up to ten people are a great way to spur some friendly competition and motivate you to keep you riding throughout the month of May.<\/p>\n<p>For seasoned riders, it&#8217;s all about the challenge and camaraderie with fellow riders. Challenge yourself to recruit teammates, challenge your workmates and friends to ride more, and challenge peer organizations to out-ride you this spring.<\/p>\n<p>The Bike Everywhere Challenge offers some great features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Simple registration process.<\/li>\n<li>Quick and easy trip logging, whether manually or by syncing your Strava account.<\/li>\n<li>Competition across multiple leaderboards.<\/li>\n<li>Prizes for the top point-earning team and random drawings for reaching milestones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can create an account at any time for free.<\/p>\n<h2>Resources<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/growing-bicycling\/resources\/bike-month-challenges-in-washington-state\/challenge\/teamcaptaintoolkit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration: underline;\">Team Captain Toolkit\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/growing-bicycling\/resources\/bike-month-challenges-in-washington-state\/challenge\/work-place-toolkit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Workplace Toolkit\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/wabikes.org\/index.php\/bike-everywhere-challenge-social-media-toolkit\/\">Social Media Toolkit<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>What is the difference between the desktop and app version of the Challenge?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Both versions are free and allow you to compete in the Bike Everywhere Challenge. The app includes real-time GPS tracking, allowing you to start and stop a trip right from the app (similar to logging an activity on Strava). If you don&#8217;t have the app, you will have to manually enter your trips, inputting start and stop addresses, in order for them to count toward the Challenge.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why do you need my work and home address when I sign up?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These addresses are used to make it easier to log your work commute. You do not have to use the exact addresses (zip code is fine, or cross streets).
