The Market offers a year-round incentive/reward program for those who use bicycles for transportation to and from the City of Rochester Public Market!
How it works
* Register for the program at the Market Office on any regular Market day during open hours (Tuesday and Thursday 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday 5 a.m. to 3 p.m.),
or during any free-admission official Market special event.
* Receive your official Best Parking at the Market bike helmet sticker (see right) and program flyer in the Market Office, the 2-story brick building located in the center of the market.
* Affix your sticker to your bike helmet. (Yeah, we want you to wear a helmet. It's good for you!)
* Each time you ride a bike to a regular Market shopping day or free-admission special event, you can enter monthly drawings for Market Gift Tokens. Note that you can participate in this program using Pace bike-share bikes as well.
* This is a year-round program, just like the Market, and there’s no limit to the number of times you can win!
* The prize drawings are done every month. One monthly drawing factors in the number of times a participant rides to the Market that month--the more times you ride, the greater chance you have to win that drawing. The other drawing is truly random--we do these because we wouldn't want someone *not* to ride if they don't feel like they can ride enough to win! In other words, every time you ride to the Market, you have a chance to win!
* To enter the prize drawings for each time you bike to a regular Market day or special event:
Drop by the Market Office (the two-story brick house) with your helmet and sticker, and sign in for the weekly drawing---find the clipboard on the desk in the Office lobby.
Or, send a smart-phone "selfie" showing your official helmet sticker with its number, bike, and any recognizable piece of the Market to pmarket@cityofrochester.gov.
