# [#WinterWheelers - a Wheely Big Success!](https://blog.lovetoride.net/2017/01/16/winterwheelers-a-wheely-big-success)

Riding in Winter can be one of the most rewarding and beautiful times to get on your bike. Whether it's enjoying the crisp, winter sun on a weekend ride or attacking puddles on a wet commute to work, at Love to Ride we wanted to show people how truly great - and diverse - winter riding can be.

That's why we launched #WinterWheelers.

5,690 Love to Riders (including 366 new members!) braved dark December to clock up over 55,000 trips for our #WinterWheelers promo. Throughout December, in the run up to Christmas Day, 25 amazing daily prizes were gifted from the #WinterWheelers sponsors: [Raleigh](http://linktrack.info/raleighuk); [Proviz](http://linktrack.info/provizsports); and [USE Exposure lights](http://linktrack.info/exposurelights). We also popped a Raleigh Strada Speed 2 bike under the campaign Christmas tree. [See if you were one of our lucky winners here](http://www.lovetoride.net/uk/pages/prizes/2_prizewinners).

A huge thank you to our awesome national sponsors - and to everyone who took part!

Last but not least, there's the important matter of the winning photo. Honourable mention goes to this corker from Den:

But the winner by unanimous decision is this Christmassiest of snaps from Rob - congratulations!

Thanks again to everyone who made #WinterWheelers such a great success - look out for our next initiative to get more people cycling in your area for the #YearoftheBike!
