Get There by Bike – Bike Rack Contest
Apply to win new bike racks for your business location!
NEW Deadline: now MAY 5th , 2025. Submission Form below.
Ready to welcome more people on bicycles to your business?
Want to help more people to navigate Aquidneck Island by bike?
People on bikes need places to park their bikes.
(Trees, lamps, and signposts don’t count.)
Here is an opportunity to welcome and support people on bikes with safe and secure bike parking.
Get There By Bike is our initiative to make biking a viable transportation choice to Aquidneck Island events and destinations. The goal is to help reduce traffic congestion by encouraging and supporting people to park their cars and switch to biking and walking.
Thanks to the generous partnership of 11th Hour Racing, we will award 5 Aquidneck Island businesses with up to 3 bike racks each as described below.
Winning locations will also receive support from Bike Newport to apply for Bicycle Friendly Business status through the Bicycle Friendly America program of the League of American Bicyclists.
HOW TO APPLY
Please submit, in 250 words or less, an explanation of why your business or organization wants bike parking, where the racks will be located, how many racks you would like (up to 3), and what you will do to promote biking to your business. Use the form below.
Deadline: May 5th
Awards and Installation will take place in May, also known as National Bike Month!
