Get cycling: Bike to Work Week 2011

If your bike helmet has been a bit neglected over the winter, now is the perfect time to show it some love. The annual Bike to Work Week will take place this year from May 30 to June 5. Staff, faculty and students are encouraged to form or join a UVic team and get cycling.

Look for the campus celebration stations May 31 from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. and June 2 from 3 to 5 p.m. near the fountain in front of the library.

Last year UVic entered 46 teams varying in size from 3 to 25 people, and we are hoping for even greater participation this year. If your workplace doesn't have a team and you'd like to get involved, contact Sustainability Coordinator Dan MacKinnon at danm@uvic.ca or call 250-721-6678.
