DealChicken loves a good scavenger hunt, as long as he's not the one being hunted. And he knows plenty of folks would love to take part in TV's "Amazing Race"—as long as they never have to actually leave town or have their bad hair days broadcast for millions to see. With Urban Bike Adventure, coming to Tampa on Feb. 25, you can have a Tampa-style amazing race, zipping around city streets on bikes to follow clues, solve puzzles, answer riddles and overcome challenges, all in an effort to win a grand prize and hit the awesome after-party. DealChicken pecked up a break on registration fees for Tampa residents: A team of two can get a $50 discount on the regular price of $90; a team of three can save $75 on the usual $135 price.

The Urban Bike Adventure, whose goal is to turn exercise into an adventure and help various charities in the process, is kicking off its 21-city series of adventures in Tampa for 2012. Kids as young as 9 years old can be on a team. Players can ride cruisers, road bikes, tandems, mountain bikes-whatever they like. Skill levels range from the casual biker to the commuter to the triathlete. All participants get a t-shirt and goody bag. Participants need a smartphone or GPS or similar tool to help them navigate. Helmets are required; riders are responsible for their own safety.
