Bike to Work

To say that Victoria’s Fifteenth Bike to Work Week was a success is an understatement!

The dour weather forecast and chilly morning commutes didn’t deter Victoria’s workplace teams to come together to beat the 2008 record by over 1,000 participants.

Congratulations to Natalie West, Oak Bay’s Coordinator for winning the local government challenge!
Oak Bay had a full one third of their regular employees ride in during
BTWW.

What a tremendous week! The weather didn’t get us down and we had more participants than ever before - over 7,000 people with 1,053 new cyclists!

This week is Bike to Work Week!  Download the poster to remind your colleagues to cycle all or some of this week.

You or your team may have won a prize!  The list of winners for each day of BTWW 2009 in Victoria is available on this page.  Check the pdf. All prizes are in our office. Please do not call the sponsor looking for the prize.
