Bike to Work Week – Oct. 23-29

Time to tune up your bike and put your foot to the pedal: Bike to Work Week is coming your way October 23-29, 2017.

It’s your chance to take up the challenge, reduce your carbon footprint, burn calories, save money, and win prizes!

Langara College has registered a team for Bike to Work Week. If you bicycle to work or would like to start, please join the team at http://bikehub.ca/registration.

Once registered, you can map out your bike route on-line and log your rides. Langara employees that log at least one bicycle ride during Bike to Work Week have a chance to win a Dream Bike Trip for 2 in Tuscany and bicycles from HUB and MEC gift cards from Langara College. If you would like to start cycling to the College, Fulton Tom (ftom@langara.ca) can help with bicycle route planning and finding a bike buddy to cycle with you.
