Campus teams are already forming to participate in Bike to Work Week 2004 from June 7 to 13. Last year UVic had a record number of faculty and staff cycle to work and Bike to Work Week organizers hope for an even bigger turnout this year.
This year, as an incentive to get even more employees trying out commuter cycling, UVic facilities management will award all campus participants an individual prize.

"Cycling is a great way to get exercise and reduce your impact on our local environment," says UVic's interim sustainability co-ordinator Sarah Webb, organizer for this year's Bike to Work Week events at UVic.

"The support stations, cycling clinics and special events provide the chance for you to learn new skills and improve your confidence on the road."

Webb has kits available for those who are acting as team captains. Participants who want to join an existing team or start a new one can contact Webb at 472-5011 or sarahwebb@fmgt.uvic.ca.

"Cyclists are reminded to take advantage of the amenities on campus, such as showers, bike lockers and covered bike racks," says Webb "There are also a number of designated safe bike routes to campus that are perfect for new riders."

Participants can find more information about Bike to Work Week and can register their team or themselves online at www.biketoworkvictoria.ca.
