Be a part of our growing bike movement! When you pledge to ride, you’ll receive a map of Energizer Stations, bike offers and discounts, a limited edition 2025 tote bag.

You’ll also be entered into giveaways: 3 winners will be randomly selected at the end of May for prizes including swag packs, t-shirts,Mike’s Bikes gift cards, and more. 

I pledged to ride, what’s next?

Energizer Stations are the community hubs where 20,000+ residents will pedal to visit on BTWD, pick up bags, and celebrate the joy of biking. We’re finalizing our map, so check back often to find one along your route!
