Brompton Urban Challenge: Milan

In two weeks’ time Brompton owners in Italy will have the opportunity to take part in a unique social media based orienteering event on their bikes.

The Brompton Urban Challenge will take place in Milano, on Saturday 13th October and will be an event of the Milano Bicycle Film Festival.

Rather than being a challenge of speed, the competitors will have to perform different tasks and reach various checkpoints within 3 hours. To prove that the tasks have been carried out they will have to send their pictures to a dedicated email address. Friends and family will be able to follow the competition during the race on a screen at the final destination as the images are posted to Facebook .

A jury will decide which pictures will be given the prizes for originality and best sense of humour.

For more information about the event, organised by Brompton distributor Jigsaw, and how to take part please visit the Brompton Italy website: http://www.brompton.it/events/BUC_2012.html or see the Bicycle Film Festival Milan page: http://www.bicyclefilmfestival.com/milano
