Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to participate in Bike to Work Week?

Nothing! Thank you to the support of our community sponsors all aspects of the event (except the t-shirts) are 100% free!

Are walkers, rollerbladers, bus riders or those travelling by means other than driving alone counted? No. Bike to Work Week is focused solely on cycling.

How big is my team?

Your team size is NOT only the number of cyclists riding each day. It is the TOTAL number of people in your workplace or division, floor, department, etc.

Team Size	Number of Employees
Large**	50 (+) people
Medium	21-49 people
Small	11-20 people
Mini	10 people or less

**For large employers with more than 50 staff, it is advisable to break into smaller units, divisions or departments. The team will consist of this grouping and participation will be the # of riders each day/ # of people at work each day.For example, a large government building should have several team leaders and break into floors or departments.

This structure will be easier to manage, and encourages more people to join a team. More participants = better chances of winning!

Do I include all of the names of my team members in my registration?

No. You do not need to add individual names to your team on the web. Keep track of who cycled each day and report these numbers on-line for your team - daily or at the end of the week. Riding one way to work, or part way is fine too. Just indicate the kms on the participant form.

How do individuals from my team win prizes?

We do NOT need individual names. We randomly draw from the list of registered teams. The winners will be posted during BTWW. If your team is selected than we will contact you and let you know that your team has won a prize. It is up to the team leader to distribute the prize from there.

How do the Prizes work?

There are prizes for registered teams, team leaders, participation (ie. % of the total number of employees in the workplace), draws at celebration stations, and for passports. More details available.
