Spring 2021 SSI GoByBike!

With fine weather, it’s time to dust off your bike and pump up your tires.  More cyclists than ever are out riding these days, partly due to a slower pace of life during Covid, or to reduce carbon emissions, and mostly to get from one place to another in a fun and healthy way.  Plus, if you participate in GoByBike week, you can win great prizes (including a cycling holiday in Croatia) and meet other friendly bike enthusiasts. 

On Monday through Thursday mornings during GoByBike, there will be an info table downtown in front of the Fire Hall from 8-10am. Look for us to find out more about cycling on Salt Spring, the Salish Sea Trail, Island Pathways’ new Bike Map, and for a free coffee coupon from Salt Spring Coffee.

Bike-to-School events are planned, too. Kids are encouraged to bring their bikes to school during the week and can take part in various events, including safety workshops and bike park lessons, and win prizes for riding. Bike park skills classes for kids are scheduled for Friday, June 4th at Mouats Park. 

To celebrate the end of this special week, you’re invited to an all-day group/self-guided “Three Ferries” ride on Sunday, June 6th (Fulford, Brentwood Bay, to Crofton) — meet at 9:30am at the Fulford Ferry, maps provided.  

We hope to see you out! For more information, contact Carolyn Hopp (carolyn_hopp@yahoo.ca) or Robin Jenkinson (riverjenkinson@gmail.com)
