Bike riders all across Vancouver, Canada are invited to take part in Kijiji's bicycle scavenger hunt that offers 24 free bikes -- vintage and brand new -- in 24 days.
The clues are released via the official Kijiji Vancouver Instagram page that give users a helpful hint to where the bike of the day is located along with a photo of the location. A password to the bike lock is shared, and the first to find the bike and unlock it wins the ride. Each of the bicycles are sourced from Ride On Bike Shop and include a variety of styles such as mountain bikes and more retro fixies.
The campaign was put together collaboratively between CloudRaker, Denneboom and Free For All Marketing to target Vancouverites and their love of biking as a main mode of transportation by sourcing bikes from the local community and encouraging consumers to explore their city.
