Bike to Work Week (B2WW) will be May 27 – June 2, 2013, and is fast approaching and UBC Transportation Planning encourages all UBC faculty, staff, students and residents to get involved. There is a skills training workshop, activities across Vancouver, and a commuter station at UBC where you can get a free bike tune-up, snacks, and enter to win great prizes, including a new bike.
An annual event created by HUB, B2WW is a great opportunity for you to commute to and from work with other cyclists, get fit and contribute to UBC’s sustainability goals by tracking your commuting kilometers in a friendly competition with other workplaces across Metro Vancouver.
Participating in Bike to Work Week is free and only takes a few minutes to sign up:
- Register with HUB at www.biketoworkmetrovan.ca.
- Choose your workplace – “University of British Columbia” – then join a team or create your own.
- Map your route to work.
- Log your route each day you ride – this will track your kms, GHGs, calories and help HUB encourage cycling safety and infrastructure in the region.
The kilometers you log with HUB will be added to the UBC total. UBC has won the most kilometers cycled for the 1000+ employee category for the past three years (Spring & Fall) – so please sign-up and log your commutes so we can keep the streak alive!
