Is there a minimum fundraising amount?  
Registering for MS Bike, participants are committing to raise the minimum fundraising amount of $500. Staff are here to support you in reaching your goals. Please reach out to local staff member or msbike@mssociety.ca and we will help you with fundraising ideas, resources and support. 
 
What happens if I don’t hit the fundraising Minimum? 
Cyclists that don’t reach the fundraising minimum will not be able to pick up their package or participate in the bike. Please connect with your local coordinator for fundraising tips or volunteer opportunities. 

I am on a team- can we just fundraise enough as a team to cover one another’s $500 minimum? 
The $500 fundraising minimum is per participant- team donations and team members cannot cover the fundraising minimum for others. Donations must be kept under the person/team that the donor originally intended- they cannot be moved between participants.  

I don’t have a team but would love to join one, are there any teams accepting lone riders? 
Connect with local bike store, or large team captain to see if they are open to taking new riders. You can also connect with your local bike coordinator to pair you up with a team! 

What kind of bike do I need?  
Road bike is best, but you can participate with any bike!
