Beer Bike
beer bike is one of rice university’s most important traditions; it is a combination intramural bicycle race and drinking compet-tion dating back to 1957. ten riders and ten chuggers make up a team. elaborate rules include details such as a prohibition of “bulky or wet clothing articles designed to absorb beer/water or prevent spilled beer/water from being seen” and regulations for chug can design. each residential college as well as the graduate student -ssociation partic-p-tes with a men’s team, a women’s team, and alumni (co-ed) team. each leg of the race is a relay in which a team’s “chugger” must chug 24 ounces of beer or water for the men’s division and 12 ounces for women before the team’s “rider” may begin to ride. partic-p-nts who both ride and chug are referred to as “ironmen”. w-lly week is a term coined in the 1990s to refer to the week preceding beer-bike, a time of general energy and excitement on campus. jacks (pranks) are especially common during w-lly week; some examples in the past include removing showerheads, encasing the hanszen guardian, and burying mcmurtry’s servery furniture in a beach volleyball court. the late morning of the beer bike race itself begins with what is by some estimations the largest annual water balloon fight in the world. beer-bike is rice’s most prominent student event, and for younger alumni it serves as an unofficial reunion weekend on par with homecoming.
