Bike to Work Week: UVic participants 1,000-strong

Fifty-three campus teams and more than 1,000 UVic cycle commuters participated in Bike to Work Week 2009 (May 11–17). The annual province-wide event was an excellent excuse to enjoy good exercise and fresh air, and sample the benefits of commuting by bicycle every day. Employees throughout Victoria pedaled a total of 171,332 km. Bicycles make up over 7 per cent of UVic’s total transportation mix.
