9th Annual Island City, By Bike Tour - Sunday, June 7

21 May 2009

Come celebrate cycling as a form of recreation, fitness activity and transportation by joining the City of Richmond and the Richmond Community Cycling Committee on the “Island City, by Bike” tour.

Island City, by Bike is an annual cycling awareness event and this year will feature long (19 km) and short (7.5 km) rides, both of which will start and finish at West Richmond Community Centre, 9180 No. 1 Road.

The short route will travel out to the West Dyke Trail via Railway Ave. and Williams Rd., while the longer one will head out to Terra Nova and return via Railway Ave. and the West Dyke Trail.

Come out at 9:30 a.m. if you would like a pre-ride bike and helmet safety check. Otherwise the rides depart at 11:00 a.m. (long ride) and 11:30 a.m. (short ride).

The groups will reconvene at West Richmond Community Centre to enjoy refreshments and a raffle prize draw. Tour leaders will be conducting the rides, so all you need to bring, other than your bike, is your helmet and a sense of humour and adventure in the off-chance that it rains.
