The event runs from April 1 through May 1, 2011, and provides willing participants with two options for participation. The first option asks participants to freeze an old, unimportant car keys to symbolize their intent to completely rely on their bicycle instead. The second option simply asks participants to freeze their car keys for a few hours at a time and ride their bicycle more than normal.

Each participant earns point by visiting these businesses and will receive a scorecard to track their progress.
