Bike To Work Day Saskatoon

VVCA News & Events, ,

You are invited to participate in Bike To Work Day Saskatoon
Wednesday, August 17, 2016
The Bridge City Bicycle Co-op is pleased to present Saskatoon’s fourth annual Bike To Work Day #yxeBTWD

About Bike To Work Day
The mission of Bike To Work Day (BTWD) Saskatoon is to attract new cyclists to commuting while celebrating the efforts of those that already use their bikes to get to and from work.

We aim to have a network of Commuter Stations in locations around the city from 7 – 9am. Local businesses and organizations in Saskatoon are invited to participate in BTWD by hosting a Commuter Station – a place for commuters to stop for grab-and-go refreshments, information, and a little fun on their way to work.

Benefits of Cycling to Work
Cycling is a healthy, convenient, low-cost and socially responsible form of transportation that improves our community by decreasing traffic congestion and reducing air pollution. We hope this event inspires more people to use their bicycles for regular, active transportation and experience the benefits of increased mental and physical health upon arriving at work.

Host a Commuter Station and/or Sponsor BTWD
If your business or organization is interested in hosting a Commuter Station, please read through the details on our website (www.biketoworksaskatoon.com) and submit a Commuter Station Request Form by July 29th. Please note that filling out a form implies agreement to adhere to the commitments and responsibilities as outlined in the Station Manager’s Guide on the BTWD website. If you would like to support a station or the event with a donation of some kind, please be in touch using the contact information below.

If you have any questions, please email us at cyclingevetsyxe@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
