Getting healthy, nailing that promotion, sorting our your finances – they’re all respectable resolutions. But frankly, they’re boring af, which is why we here at Step Out Buffalo are challenging you to really step out of your comfort zone in 2017 with the Buffalo Bucket List Challenge. We know it can be difficult to constantly come up with new and exciting ways to enjoy your time here on planet earth, and more specifically Western New York, so we’re doing the work for you. Every Wednesday this year we’ll publish a new Buffalo Bucket List Challenge post with a fun / interesting / exciting / unique “task” to try.
For more info on how to win prizes by actually accepting this challenge and participating via Instagram, skip to the bottom of this post!
Ice Biking at Canalside
Week 1: Ride an Ice Bike
As if we needed another reason to be proud of Buffalo, they go and invent a way for even the most uncoordinated person to enjoy the ice at Canalside safely. Honestly, even if you absolutely love ice skating, give them a try because it’s something different and unique to try! You pedal and break like a normal bike, and you can really pick up some serious speed on these bad boys. Don’t worry, there’s a bell to warn others that you’re about to fly by them. Check this off of your bucket list for a mere $12 per person for 30 minutes.
