Collect Your Green Bean Badges!
Starting with the 2027 season, Green Bean members can earn digital achievement badges for riding, volunteering, learning, reaching mileage milestones, sharing stories and being part of a team.
Join Green Bean Members see their badges on Member Home.
How the Badge Program Works
- Badges start with the 2027 season. Rides, points and activities from earlier seasons never earn a badge.
- Most badges arrive automatically from your AERC results, your miles, your Tally-Hoe miles, your team and your season points.
- Volunteering, crewing, learning and story badges come from the Bonus activities and Ride Reports you submit.
- Special Community Recognition is given by an administrator.
- Some badges are earned once, some can be earned again each season, and some add to a count every time you qualify.
- Mileage badges count the starting miles on your membership plus your eligible completed AERC miles.
- Your badges and progress are on Member Home, under My Badges. You choose whether they show publicly.
