The Winter Bike Challenge encourages intrepid cyclists to brave the winter elements and ride their bikes for two weeks in January. This year 470 cyclists hopped on two wheels Jan. 13-25, pedaling 33,137 miles in 4,362 trips. Participants won prizes such as free coffee, bike locks, Clif bars and bike tires.
But the top prize went to Schreiner, whose closest competitor logged nearly 300 miles less than him. In addition to winning bragging rights as king of the 2017 Winter Bike Challenge, Schreiner won a bicycle from Kozy’s Cyclery.
We spoke with Schreiner about how he logged 1,000 miles in two weeks — a feat for even the most seasoned winter rider — and how the Winter Bike Challenge converted him into a winter cyclist.
