Summer Cycle Series
Introducing: The Summer Cycle Series 🌍✈️
Travel the world — one ride at a time!
This summer, we're bringing the thrill of travel straight to your CyberCycle. Residents are encouraged to pedal the length of iconic world landmarks — from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Eiffel Tower.
Here’s how it works:
We’ve created a virtual travel itinerary filled with famous destinations. Each stop has a cycling mileage goal based on the real-world distance for that location. Riders aim to hit the goal within the challenge dates by riding through any road or game of their choosing to earn a virtual badge and check off that city on their personal travel log.
Why join the Summer Cycle Series?
Fun and purpose: Residents love challenges with a theme — and this one brings nostalgia, excitement, and discovery — perfect for summer!
Engagement made easy: The itinerary includes a travel log sheet where residents can mark off their progress.
Motivating and inclusive: Even those who can’t make every stop can still participate and earn badges for the rides they complete.
Safe adventure: Give your residents a sense of exploration and accomplishment, right from the comfort of your wellness center.
Encourage your riders to cycle through London, hike up Machu Picchu, and roll past the Grand Canyon — all on their CyberCycle.
Let’s make this summer one to remember — full of movement, motivation, and meaningful miles!
