Some of the most exciting events to watch out for are:
Kick-off Trailside Breakfast - Monday May 11
South end of the Selkirk Trestle. Join us for fresh coffee, baked goods and organic fruit courtesy of our local sponsors. Commuter Challenge—car vs Bike Race - Thursday May 14
Simple yet powerful! This friendly "race" requires a cyclist and car driver to begin from a common point and aim to arrive at the Serious Coffee at 1280 Broad St (near Yates) between 7:45–9am. Participants must follow all rules of the road, legally park and pre-register. Wrap-up BBQ—FREE! Friday May 15
Join us at the North end of the Selkirk Trestle. Enjoy tasty meat and veggie burgers and top it off with melted cheese generously supplied by our sponsor Save-on-Foods! Bring a friend, family or the whole workplace team. This final celebration is a fantastic ending to a tremendous week of events.
Bike to Work Day—October 2009
For regular commuter cyclists and for those who get started during Bike to Work Week, Bike to Work Day is a great milestone to aim for. Once again we will be holding two fun stations with plenty of great coffee and goodies! Keep those wheels turning all summer long and into the fall!
