Each station includes:

Free food and refreshment
A local bike mechanic
Prize ballots
Treats provided by sponsors

This year we have have stations in Sidney, Saanich, Camosun, Oak Bay and Esquimalt, as well as our usual Downtown locations. It looking like we may have 20 celebration stations in 2010, that’s a new recordThis will make the Bike to Work Week festivities available to a greater part of the community.
