Go by Bike Week, between May 29 and June 2, is a campaign aimed at getting more people to cycle more often. Locally, Transportation Choices Sunshine Coast (TraC) is hosting free events, including celebration stations with complimentary coffee and morning snacks between 7 and 9 a.m. outside Batch 44 in Sechelt and Home Hardware in Gibsons all week.
The events are a way for cyclists to connect with each other and share ideas about improving local cycling infrastructure, TraC board member Mark Wilson told Coast Reporter.
Wilson will also be looking for input on the use of the organization’s new Mobile MULTI bike and pedestrian counter.
Local paramedics Bart Nikodem and Annelie Van Der Hayden shared that they "bike to work regularly because it's good for us, good for the environment and helps us feel connected to the community in a way we don't when we're in an ambulance and driving around saving lives."
