Welcome! The City of Edmonton WinterCity Strategy has donated funds to Bike Edmonton so that we can give away a limited number of studded winter tires to help people start to winter cycle!

To be eligible to receive free studded winter tires, you have to
1. be 16 years of age or older,
2. be new or relatively new to winter cycling,
4. do three winter cycling challenges by December 31, 2021, like attending a virtual winter cycling seminar or sending us pictures of you and your bike out in winter conditions. Then report to us what you've done. You can choose from ten challenges that are listed on the form. All challenges help you gain the knowledge and confidence for winter cycling! Six of the ten challenges are free.
5. finally, you'll fill out a questionnaire by January 15, 2022 to tell us if the program helped you.

Pretty easy, right? After filling out the form below, we'll let you know if you'll receive free studded winter tires. If you are selected to receive free studded tires, you get the tires first, then you'll work toward your selected winter cycling challenges and email us when you've achieved one of your challenges (or when you decide to switch to a different challenge). All of the challenges are listed in the form below.

Please note that Bike Edmonton reserves the right to limit the selection of studded tires on offer to tires within a range of costs. The tires we provide will, for the most part, be provided through the Bike Edmonton Community Workshops, in consolation with this program's director. This limitation allows us to offer tires to more people and get more people winter cycling!

Installation of the tires is not included in this Challenge program. We can send you information on installing tires if you like. Or you can pay to have the tires installed in any shop. Bike Edmonton's Community Bike Shops offer this services. Please find the fees and available appointment times here: https://bikeedmonton.ca/repair-service-booking

This challenge is generously sponsored by the City of Edmonton WinterCity Strategy. WinterCity works with community groups and Edmontonians to enable and promote positive winter experiences. Bike Edmonton is thrilled to work with the WinterCity Strategy to help Edmontonians embrace the colder season!
