Forward Pinellas Hosts Virtual 'Bike Your Own City'

PINELLAS COUNTY, FL — Help celebrate Florida Bicycle Month in March by joining a free biking scavenger hunt.

Forward Pinellas is hosting its second self-guided “Bike Your Own City” scavenger hunt for residents throughout Pinellas County. Throughout the month of March, participants will be challenged to find 20 items while biking throughout their community and submit a “selfie” or picture of their bike using an interactive online form.

“Bicycling plays such an important role in the lives of so many Pinellas County residents and visitors. The virtual Bike Your Own City scavenger hunt is a great way for everyone to celebrate Florida Bike Month and learn how important it is to keep each other safe on our roads and trails,” says Forward Pinellas chair and St. Petersburg Council member Darden Rice. “I am especially excited about the partnership with our local bike shops and the excellent community art project to increase safety awareness and bike advocacy.”

Once you register, you’ll receive the scavenger hunt locations and instructions for how to post your “selfie.” You’ll also have the opportunity to support local businesses, get involved with our social media campaign, and even win a T-shirt, bike lights, gift cards and more. Keep an eye out for Tuesday Trivia on social media and you could win a gift certificate to a local bike shop.

The Safety Harbor Art and Music Center will be creating free, custom “Bike Your City” yard signs that you can pick up at several local bike shops. Register today for more information on how to get your sign and show your support for bike advocacy.
