Thanks for a record-breaking yearI’m writing on behalf of the Bike To Work Society to thank the entire university community for its enthusiastic participation in Bike To Work Week 2002. UVic staffers, students and profs set the pace for a record-breaking year, helping BTWW grow to 304 teams and more than 3,500 cyclists region-wide.

If you were one of the 400-plus UVic team members who tried cycling to campus, you may want to hone your technique and build your confidence by taking our one-day commuter traffic skills course. It will change the way you cycle and the way you feel about cycling in traffic! We’re holding the course at UVic this fall—details and enrolment are available online at <www.biketoworkvictoria.ca>.

Thanks to everyone again for the incredible support. We’re already looking forward to next year.

David Cubberley
BTWS President
