City Bike to Work Week is Back: November 17-23, 2008

04 November 2008

Bike to Work Week is a regional initiative aimed at increasing commuter cycling in the Lower Mainland.

Building on the success of Bike to Work Week in May, this November event encourages people to make the move from fair-weather cycling to all weather cycling and celebrates all those who cycle year-round.

Workplaces are encouraged to join the City of Richmond and register to compete against each other to get their co-workers onto bicycles.

Prizes will be awarded based upon participation rates and kilometres commuted. For more information and to register, visit www.vacc.bc.ca/biketowork/.

A highlight of the week will be a commuter station that will feature free food and beverages, free bike mechanics, cycling maps and information, and prize draws. Come visit us on your bike:
