To support Edmonton’s WinterCity Strategy, Bike Edmonton and the City of Edmonton have teamed up to make winter cycling safer and more fun by giving out studded winter tires!
To be eligible to receive free studded winter tires, you must:
* Be 16 years of age or older,
* Be new or relatively new to winter cycling,
* Have a bike that accepts commonly available studded tires.
* Do three winter cycling challenges by January 31, 2025.
* Fill out a questionnaire by February 21, 2025 to tell us if this studded tire challenge helped you.
Winter Cycling Challenges
You’ll choose three challenges from eight suggested challenges that will help you ride your bike safely and comfortably through the winter. Some examples of challenges include watching winter cycling videos, recording your rides, taking a picture of you and your bike on a winter excursion, and riding to Coffee Outside.
How to Apply
Fill out this form and we'll let you know if you qualify for free studded winter tires. There is no deadline, though we will start giving out tires right away, so apply early to increase your chances of being selected.
This studded tire challenge is sponsored by the City of Edmonton's WinterCity Strategy. WinterCity works with community groups and Edmontonians to enable and promote positive winter experiences. Bike Edmonton is honoured to work with the WinterCity Strategy to help Edmontonians embrace the colder season.
