ABOUT THE CHALLENGE

We're pitting bike shop employees against bike shop employees in the greatest challenge to test their velo mettle. Think you got what it takes? Enter the Bike Shop Challenge Rodeo (FREE) at BiKETOBEERFEST for a chance to preserve your pride (and win prizes).

THE COMPETITIONS

THE DERBY

Contenders will be entered into a gritty, demanding Derby/Foot Down where they'll need to draw upon their very best navigational and balancing skills as they ride in a circle packed with competitors. Put your foot down and you're out. No pushing or shoving with your arms, but strategically maneuvering your bicycle to block other competitors is allowed. The circle gets narrower as contenders are eliminated. The last contender still riding win.

THE LIMBO

Jack be limbo, Jack be quick, Jack go unda limbo stick - on a bike. The contender to make it under the lowest limbo pole wins.
