Bike To Work Week In Nanaimo

Bike to Work Week is coming!

It’s time to dust off the bike, pump up your tires, lose your car keys and jump on board for this year’s Bike to Work Week. May 27 to June 2 is Bike to Work Week in Nanaimo. Encourage your colleagues, friends and family to get on their bikes and join you. Register your team or as an individual on line today at www.biketowork.ca/nanaimo. All team leaders receive a free Bike to Work Week t-shirt.

All week celebration stations will be set up around the City to offer snacks, drinks and encouragement for the many cyclists participating in the challenge. Cyclists will have a chance to win prizes at each station including a chance to win the grand prize: a KONA Dew Commuter Bike donated by Oak Bay Bikes or a weekly loaf of bread for a year from Cobs Bread! If you can’t make the celebration stations visit one of Nanaimo many bike shops to enter. The more you participate, the better your chances are to win.

Celebrate the completion of Bike to Work Week with a Wrap up Party at Country Club Centre on Friday May 31st, from 4:00 – 7:00pm. Join fellow commuters for a free Kinsmen BBQ, great musical entertainment (Kumbana Marimba), bike polo demo, good company and prizes.

In preparation for Bike to Work Week, we will be holding a fun “Commuter Challenge” on Friday May 24th at Diana Krall Plaza. Cyclists and drivers will demonstrate the comparability of urban travel times between cyclists and car drivers over set distances. Meet us in Diana Krall Plaza at 5:00pm, to enjoy live entertainment and cheer your favorite team in to the plaza. Following the arrival of our participants we will head out on a 10km community ride.
