The City is hosting Pedal Penticton a biking event this Saturday September 7th form 9:00 - 1:00pm in Gyro Park to engage citizens about a lake-to-lake cycling route. The need for a safe and convenient cycling route through the city and connecting the Okanagan and Skaha lakes is needed if we want more people to cycle in Penticton. There will be lots of fun activities like bike decorating, games for kids, a Community Group Ride, e-bike test drives, tri-shaw rides, etc.
Meet at the Penticton Art Gallery at 6:15 for a fun and social ride through the downtown and along Lakeshore Drive.
Nervous riding on the roads? Here is your opportunity to practice in a safe, supported, and police escorted environment. Kids of all ages are welcome. They get a kick out of riding like an adult on the roads. Try riding in a group and enjoy the freedom of owning the road.
Come join us!
During the rash of break ins in downtown Penticton two mountain bikes were stolen. One of the bikes had a Garage 529 sticker on it. The police find stolen bikes on a daily basis but do not have a way to track the bikes and get them back to their owners. Garage 529 provides them a way to identify a bike's owner and where it was stolen from so that it can be returned. As a result of this sticker and being registered, one of the above mentioned mountain bikes was returned to its grateful owner.
