Century Cycles Bike To School Challenge returns on May 5; Bicycle Fairs on April 29 and May 1

The biggest bike-to-school program in the nation, the Century Cycles Bike to School Challenge, begins on May 5, 2014, with events in Bay Village, Medina, and Rocky River.

From May 5 through May 23, over 4,000 students at six schools will take the challenge. Using daily bike counts and surveys to gauge participation, the students are gearing up to compete for prizes and hope to beat last year's impressive records.

Sponsors Raleigh Bicycles and Century Cycles will award Raleigh bicycles to students as prizes, along with prizes from other local and national sponsors.
