Fifty Promach employees filled their facility in Covington, Kentucky for an afternoon of team competition and a charity bike team event. The group had two hours, eight bikes to complete, and the kind of competitive energy that makes this event work. Groups worked through challenges to earn their parts and raced to get ahead of the other groups. The afternoon finished with a bike donation to youth in the local community.

Promach’s 50 Employees Complete Eight Bikes at Charity Bike Building Team Event in Covington, Kentucky
Two hours is not a lot of time to build eight bikes, and teams treated that window seriously. The competitive challenges at the start set the tone: nobody was there to coast. Groups pushed through puzzles and trivia with real intent, collecting parts and keeping a close eye on what the other tables were doing.
As the bikes started coming together, some of the groups shot ahead of the competition. A glance around the room showed a range of speed, but a consistency of fun, with each team taking it at their own pace. As the hour progressed though, everyone started equalizing. The fast starters slowed and the groups not confident they’d even finish started rocketing ahead.
All eight bikes were finished by the end at almost the exact same time. They were donated to local youth in Covington who may not otherwise have had access to a bike of their own. After an afternoon spent competing to win, giving something tangible to the community was a perfect way to close. It made the whole event feel complete.
Big thanks to Promach for organizing an afternoon that brought this kind of energy. And to the team at Covington it was a pleasure. The group came ready to compete and ready to give back.
Looking for a few hours of competitive fun that ends with something worth giving away? A charity bike build delivers both.
