Sign up for the 11th annual Biketober challenge to experience the joy of biking while riding for the chance to win amazing prizes, including an Edison Electric Bike! Participants can ride solo, join a workplace team, or create a team of friends and family.
Biketober, sponsored by Georgia Commute Options (GCO), kicks off its monthlong celebration on October 1. The challenge encourages metro Atlantans to hop on their bikes, forge new connections, and score prizes.
Participants earn points for every mile they log, every day they ride, and every person they encourage to participate, improving their chances to win big throughout the month.
New Rider? Perfect Opportunity!
Biketober is not only for experienced cyclists but also an excellent opportunity for beginners to learn more about biking and join a supportive community. Throughout Biketober, if you are a first-time rider wanting to learn more about biking, we have some great opportunities for you to get started. You can join a FREE class from Propel ATL, a nonprofit organization that works with GCO to promote safer and more inclusive streets for biking, walking, and rolling. You can also visit the Biketober website, which offers tips on basic repairs, gearing up, picking a route, and much more. And if you are ready to hit the trails, you can check out the maps our partners at the PATH Foundation have created.

Get Fit and Go Green
Whether commuting to work or simply going for a joyride, participants will enjoy the many health benefits of biking. Cycling helps reduce weight and body fat, lowers cholesterol, and improves coordination and mobility. And as a low-impact aerobic exercise, it’s suitable for all skill levels.
In addition to health benefits, biking is good for the environment. By biking instead of driving during Biketober, participants are contributing to a cleaner, greener metro Atlanta.
