Our 15th annual Read to Ride summer reading program begins May 13th, 2013. Children between the ages of 6 and 15 have a chance to win a brand new bike or sporting goods just by reading a book. The more books your child reads the more chances they have to win!

How it works

  • Children between the ages of 6 and 15 can participate in Read to Ride by reading books and filling out entry forms for each book they read.

  • Completed entry forms can be dropped off at any of our 16 locations or with your Home Delivery Driver.

  • Entry forms can be picked up at any Dependable Cleaners, Farina’s Bicycle Center, Country Ski and Sport, local libraries and sports clubs, with your Home Delivery Driver, or click here to download one now.

  • Participants receive one entry form for each book they read, the more books your child reads the more chances they have to win!

  • Each entry form will be entered into a Drawing to win a brand new bike. Drawings will take place every Monday beginning June 3th until Aug 12, 2013 (except July 1st).
