Bike to Work Week Events
May 31- June 6, 2010
The 16th annual Bike to Work Week is being held May 31- June 6 2010 in Victoria to coincide with events across British Columbia. This change should also let our riders enjoy better weather as they try out their commute by bicycle.
Check out this link for a detailed schedule and map.
You can also download posters, Team Leader information and lots more!
Celebration stations are exactly what they sound like – a "celebration" of cycling and the health, wellness and fun benefits that go along with it.
Every day during Bike to Work Week, Victoria celebration stations will be held in strategic locations throughout Greater Victoria.
Each station includes:
- Free food and refreshment
- A local bike mechanic
- Prize ballots
- Treats provided by sponsors
- Fun!
This year we have have stations in Sidney, Saanich, Camosun, Oak Bay. View Royal, Colwood and Esquimalt, as well as our usual Downtown locations. We have 19 celebration stations in 2010! This will make the Bike to Work Week festivities available to a greater part of the community.
