2024 Pointless Prize: Street #Treats

1/3/2024

While focusing on the ground for money, what to my surprise, I found a different treat. One of Santa’s reindeers had lost an antler. Immediately, I jumped off my bike and rescued the antler from Constitution Avenue.

I briefly considered adding it to my bike, but I feared that some might call me a dork. I placed the rescued antler beside the fence at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture garden. Likely, a young child will find the antler and be thrilled to have an antler from one of Santa’s reindeer.

1/3/24 Two #treats found-used google
lens to figure out what they were. The first looked like it could be a plastic bike pedal but more likely a piece of a Honda headlight. The other I should’ve brought home from their curbside trash to donate somewhere–Size M lumbar back brace in good shape.

This game is simply about finding random but perfectly good #treats that people drop or discard and you find while riding your bike.

Some common street #treats are money, usually coins, and orphan gloves or hats. I’ve found $20 bills, sunglasses, a six-pack of unopened beers and a brand new pair of Speedplay Zero cleat covers. I even found a pair of Barr Mitts once,too.

How to play:
1. Find a street treat out in the wild while riding your bike.
2. Hashtag your ride title #treats on Strava
3. Post a picture of the street treat with some part of your bike in it to this thread and/or Strava.
4. Follow me and allow me to follow you back on Strava so that your street #treats can be verified.

Scoring:
1. One #treats point per ride posted on Strava
2. Extra point if you reuse, up cycle or recycle the street #treats and share a story about it here or on Strava.
3. Bonus points if you donate the street treat to someone in need and share a story about it here or on Strava.
4. Angel points if you return the treat to its rightful owner (as I did with Trey Harris’s Barr Mitts) and share a story about it here or on Strava.

Note: Bonus & Angel points will be arbitrary, subjective & w/out appeal but your effort and creativity will be taken into consideration.

The winner will receive a special treat TBD. Send me a PM if you want to donate your street treat to become the award for this pointless prize.

Good luck finding street #treats!

Oooo. I like this PP. Last winter I found three long-fingered biking gloves: two left and one right. So I’ve had my eye out for another right.
