Go by bike this winter, Campbell River

Start pedalling! Winter GoByBike Week is Feb. 7 to 13.

It may be winter, but here on the coast it’s still nice enough to ride. Winter GoByBike Week, Feb. 7 to 13, is another opportunity for Campbell River residents to keep on cycling.

Register on the GoByBike Week website (gobybikebc.ca/campbell-river). It’s free to participate. After you register, you can track your kilometres and find out how many kilograms of greenhouse gases you save by riding your bike year-round.

McDonald’s is partnering with Go by Bike Campbell River to host a physically distanced “Ride Through” celebration station at Rotary Beach Park on Feb. 12, from 10 a.m. until noon. Ride by and pick up a free coffee to warm you up. The first 60 riders who visit the Ride Through will receive Campbell River Go By Bike buffs. COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place.

“You think it is cold but once you get going there is nothing like riding in the crisp winter air,” says committee member Linda Nagle. “We’re encouraging people to hop on their bikes again this winter and keep on cycling.”
