1. How to Enter Results
Help us keep the event going! We need to know how many people rode, and how far. This shows our sponsors that Bike to Work Week is a great event making a positive difference in our communities!
Need help? Here’s how to enter your results:
- Make sure you (the team leader) are logged in (you will be entering results for the whole team)
- Click on "Enter Results" (a big orange button at the top of your screen. If you don’t see it, be sure that you are logged in)
- You can enter your results each day. Your participation rate is calculated based on how many people from within your workplace or department rode each day (cyclists) compared with how many people were at work (attendees).
- Be sure to enter your team’s total kilometres each day (both ways ridden, not just one direction) This helps us calculate carbon emissions saved.
- Questions or difficulties? Contact us at email@biketowork.ca
Please get your results to us by next week- Friday, June 11th at the latest.
