Six-year-old Solomon Schafer bikes to “work” most days with his mom, UVic history professor Dr. Jessica Schafer.
Spring is sprung, the grass has riz. Bet you’re wondering when Bike to Work Week is.
Each year, new and seasoned cyclists jump on their bikes and find a fun way to get to UVic in this popular annual event. This year, Bike to Work Week runs from May 29 to June 4. Over 60 teams (more than 700 people in all) participated in 2005, and this year is already shaping up to be bigger and better.
Join a team and you may find a new commuting partner to share the road with. Never cycled to work? Take a free cycling skills course to learn the safest techniques and most convenient routes. Various two-hour seminars will be held throughout May; find further details in the campus announcements section of uSource, https://usource.uvic.ca.
If you’re ready to be a team leader contact Allan Dunlop, TDM coordinator, at 472-5646 or adunlop@fmgt.uvic.ca.
Win prizes, hang out at the cycling support station and get an invitation to the celebration barbeque at the end of the week.
