Since 2018, Love to Ride has been on a mission to help promote healthy and physically active lifestyles in Shasta County, California, through a partnership with Healthy Shasta. By introducing engaging biking challenges and behaviour change programs, we aim to make physical activity a fun and integral part of daily life.

 

Over the past 6 years, the amount of challenge participants in Shasta County has doubled, leading to remarkable results:

  • 3,200 people and 162 workplaces have joined Love to Ride
  • 85.4% of riders stated improving health or fitness as a main motivator for riding
  • 253,469 trips have been logged, covering over 241,000 miles
  • Together all riders have saved 70,466 kg of CO2, equivalent to planting 2,819 trees

 

Healthy Shasta is a community collaborative that promotes healthy eating and physically active lifestyles through environmental, policy, and organizational changes. They envision a community where the healthy choice is the easy choice.
