Sudsy Cycling Relay Races

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Jones College's 'Beer Bike' Race Pairs Legs of a Cycling Relay with Beer

— October 12, 2016 — Lifestyle
A cycling relay like the Tour de France or the Giro d'Italia is a grueling test of speed and stamina, but Rice University's Jones College's Beer Bike Race tests competitors in a very different way. The Beer Bike Race is a cycling relay, but at each point in the race, a teammate needs to chug a beer.

The basic format of the Beer Bike Race is simple. It is divided into ten legs, with a different cyclist pedaling for each of the legs. However, before the next cyclist can begin their section of the race, another (non-cycling) teammate needs to chug a beer.

For college students with an increasing interest in fitness as well as drinking culture, the Jones College Beer Bike Race is a good way to combine the best of both worlds.
Trend Themes
1. Fitness Drinking Trend - Opportunity for breweries or fitness companies to collaborate and create new products or experiences that combine exercise and drinking culture.
2. Alternative Relay Race Trend - Opportunity for event organizers to create unique relay races that incorporate unconventional challenges or obstacles.
3. Collegiate Social Event Trend - Opportunity for marketers to create engaging experiences and products for college students that reflect their interests and sense of community.
Industry Implications
1. Alcohol Industry - Opportunity for alcohol companies to target fitness enthusiasts with light and low-calorie beer options that align with their interests.
2. Sports and Fitness Industry - Opportunity for fitness companies to create viral events or challenges that attract young adults and provide an alternative to traditional gym workouts.
3. Event Planning Industry - Opportunity for event planners to create unique and memorable experiences that cater to the social and cultural interests of targeted audiences.
