WHAT’S AN ALLEYCAT?
An alleycat is an informal scavenger-hunt style bike race: you’re given a sequence of checkpoints, and you navigate between them however you want. It’s part riding, part route-finding, part problem-solving.
Alleycat races grew out of messenger culture and community riding—less about perfect rules, more about exploring the city together and having a good time.
THIS ONE (DILLY DALLEY CAT)
Dilly Dalley Cat is a lightweight, QR-based alleycat. Each stop has a hidden QR code and a question. Scan the QR, answer the question, and you’ll be shown your next checkpoint.
Ride safe. Obey traffic laws. Look out for each other. The point is fun—not chaos.
HOW ROUTES WORK
Start / Setup
You can start by scanning any checkpoint QR. On your first scan you’ll choose: route + direction, and enter your rider name.
Forward vs Reverse
For standard routes, checkpoints are ordered in a loop. Forward follows increasing checkpoint order; Reverse follows the same loop in the opposite direction.
Standard routes
Pick one of the configured route sets. You’ll be sent to the next checkpoint along that loop, and you can’t repeat a checkpoint.
Random
Random mode is just for fun: after each correct stop, your next checkpoint is chosen at random from the checkpoints you haven’t completed yet. Once you’ve visited them all, you’ll be told to return to your starting checkpoint to finish.
