Bike Friendly Richardson

Before we announce the winners of this year’s Ride and Seek Scavenger Hunt, we would like to thank a few people. First, our partners: Richardson Bike Mart, Alamo Drafthouse, Ten50 BBQ for donating the prizes. If you happen to visit one of these places, thank them for supporting Richardson cyclists.

Next, we’d love to thank YOU, the awesome bike riders of Richardson, for participating in our little fun ride event and submitting such amazing photos. We hope to use the information that you’ve gathered to help us build a better, more bike friendly community.

After collecting over 150 photos, from over 20 riders, we had a drawing of a couple hundred raffle tickets (many of the submissions earned double tickets). Here are the winners:

• Richardson Bike Mart Prize Pack (a pair of bike socks, water bottle and a $25 gift certificate) – Jason Mechler
• Richardson Bike Mart Prize Pack (a pair of bike socks, water bottle and a $25 gift certificate) – Matthew Wright
• Ten50 BBQ Gift Certificate ($25) – Bill Johnson
• Alamo Drafthouse Prize Pack (an Alamo Drafthouse pint glass, $20 food voucher, 2 movie passes) – Bryan Lindsey

Thanks again to everybody for participating in our second annual scavenger hunt. We hope to do this again!

You are invited to participate in Richardson’s 2nd Annual Ride And Seek, Photo Scavenger Hunt. From mid-October to mid-November, we are inviting and motivating folks to get out and ride their bikes, explore their neighborhoods and win prizes!

This year’s theme will be “The Bike Racks of Richardson”.
