For this Pointless Prize, you log as many ride days on different bikes as you can, with a minimum of 2.0 miles in one day on a bike to count a bike, with the following rules:
- You may only add to your n count by one bike per day.
- You must submit [at least] one photo per bike that shows the bike (rider does not have to be included), and a brief description of the bike and your ride on the bike. Post submissions in this thread and feel free to edit existing posts to update your count. You can link to your Strava activity and add the photo(s) there, or just post text and an image/link to an image if you don’t want to use Strava – or you can use some combination thereof. (The mileage requirement is based on the honor system.)
- Bikeshare systems count as one bike (each system can count separately). Exceptions may be made for say, the Cherry Blossom pink CaBi (bikeinbloom). Tandems, recumbents, unicycles, trikes and ElliptiGOs are allowed. Scooters, skateboards, roller blades, etc. are not. Trainer rides and stationary bikes do not count. Underground rides count as long as you have an accurate odometer AND include a photo showing the mileage on said odometer. Anyone submitting ELF rides will be summarily disqualified (just kidding… or not?).
This pointless prize/sidebet starts 1/27 – pre-dated rides during BAFS2016 do not count, sorry! You may (and are implicitly encouraged to) borrow team mates’ or fellow riders’ bikes.
Value of prize to be awarded will be a function of the number of participants, and the winning value of n. Prize will be split in the event of a tie, although bonus points may be arbitrarily awarded for unusual rides/bikes.
