Make Sure To Log ALL Your Bike Rides By Friday, February 17, 2023 To WIN! How To: Backlog Your Rides

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the ride during Winter GoByBike Week, February 6-12 2023! Thank you to all supporters, sponsors, and cycling enthusiasts!

If you haven’t logged all your kilometers, you have until midnight Friday, February 17, to record all your trips in your GoByBike account. Those of you who have connected their Strava accounts: sometimes it takes a little for those rides to be pushed through to your GoByBike account.

#AnyRideCounts: to and from work or school, to get groceries, to get some fresh air or meet up for a coffee with friends, trail rides, pump track laps, recreational rides to explore your region. Taking the bus part way, carpooling or driving yourself to where your bike ride starts also counts. Please log ALL your bike rides! Tell your friends to log ALL their rides!

WHY ARE WE ASKING YOU TO LOG ALL YOUR RIDES?
Your logged rides are important because they help us show local and provincial decision-makers the importance of bicycle friendly roads and routes; the need for facilities such as bike racks or lockers; and the benefits of cycling education. This helps us (GBBBC) and communities in BC to get funding allocated to cycling. Help us build a happier, healthier, and more connected community. Bicycles are for everyone.

The more rides logged = the more funding to keep our programs running

Did you #gobybike during February 6-12, 2023, but didn’t register for Winter GoByBike Week? You can still register HERE and [back]log your bike rides once registered. This enters you into the draw for the Provincial Prizes!
