CHICAGO — The Blackhawks are about to begin another Stanley Cup quest.

To help get fans and regular Chicagoans get into the playoff spirit, the Blackhawks have teamed up with Divvy to roll out special team bikes that when spotted can earn riders special team prizes and experiences.

Ten Blackhawks-themed Divvy bikes will be docked at bike-sharing stations beginning this week, the Blackhawks and Divvy said in a news release.

The red and black bikes, decked out with Blackhawks logos and the hashtag #BlackhawksBike, will certainly stand out above Divvy's fleet of blue bikes.

Spotting one of the special bikes, then posting a photo of it to social media with the #BlackhawksBike hashtag, will make you eligible for a number of prizes from the team, including:

• Signed Blackhawks memorabilia

• Tickets

• Gift cards to the Blackhawks store or an annual pass to Divvy

• "Fan experiences"

The bikes will be rolled out near 10 Chicago landmarks, and their roll-outs will be documented and announced on Blackhawks and Divvy social media accounts.

This contest marks the second time Divvy has partnered with the Blackhawks, according to the organizations. In September 2014, the groups held a similar event but rolled out only five themed bikes.

Divvy launched in 2013, on the day the Blackhawks held their second of three championship parades since 2010.

"We've always had a special connection with the Blackhawks because of that," Divvy General Manager Elliot Greenberger said. "We're thrilled to be bringing these bikes back to celebrate pride in our hometown hockey team."
