Celebration Stations
Bike to Work Week is an amazing community event that encourages everyone to try commuter cycling by providing resources and support for new and continuing cyclists. During Bike to Work Week we encourage you to visit our Celebration Stations where you can have a delicious free breakfast, get a quick bike tune up and meet up other cyclists!
Every morning at the Celebration Stations we will also have the Calona Costume Moustache Mania contest to win the Secret Prize as well as the chance to win other great prizes throughout the week! See the schedule below or download the Celebration Station Schedule (PDF).
Healthy and Sustainable Choices
To promote sustainability, we will serve local and organic food as much as possible. To reduce waste, we will have recycling and composting stations set up and will not serve bottled water. Please bring your own mug, your own water bottle, and if you’re really savvy, a reusable container for food.
Car vs. Bike Challenge – Monday May 30, 2011
Join elected officials, media personalities and local residents for the Bicycle vs. Car Challenge!
The Bicycle vs. Car Challenge event demonstrates the impacts of both modes of transportation relative to their efficiency, cost, time, health benefits and environmental impacts through friendly competition.
Choose between two categories: “Competitive or Recreational”. Upon completion of the challenge, the Commuter King/Queen will be crowned; prizes awarded... and enjoy a breakfast wrap served by The Bike Shop Cafe for all participants!
RSVP by Thursday May 26, by contacting The Kelowna and Area Cycling Coalition RSVPs at ridebike@okanagan.net.
