Beer Bike 2012

Beer Bike has been around for more than 50 years, but there’s something missing from this annual Rice tradition. While the race still involves chugging a cold one and then biking around a track to beat out competing teams – the frosty mug is now filled to the top with good ‘ole H2O. Ten teams of students and alumni compete in one of three heats. Each team has designated chuggers, pushers (team members who give the riders a “push”) and racers, who work together to accomplish one thing – get around the track the fastest. Winners no longer take home a keg, but they do win bragging rights to this beloved, albeit unsudsy, event. Unconventional fun is part of Rice’s unconventional wisdom.
