These days, in USA, Metro Vancouver’s Bike to Work Week is going to start its fourth annual event at the end of May. In Sapperton, Cap’s Cycles, in partnership with the New West chapter of the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition (VACC) and elementary schools around town have set up bike information classes aimed to educate kids on the advantages of cycling.
After that, it is planning to offer a bicycle riding skills seminar at Sir Richard McBride school, scheduled for June 7.
Earlier, it focused on promoting cycling as a way for adults to commute to work. Now, it also is setting up the Glenbrook bike club this year, an optional group for students to ride their bikes, build ramps and go on community rides with the school.
In addition to the work being done in Royal City schools, New Westminster has also put out a new bike map, outlining the various trails and paths around town. And for those adults looking to take their bike to the office during this year’s event, Feltham says the VACC plans to set up three commuter stations around town stocked with beverages for those who need some refreshments for their trip either to, or from, work.
