Hi all
Bike to Work Day is fast approaching and if you haven't already registered, make sure to "Count yourself in." This is the 6th annual Bike to Work Day and we hope the most successful yet. We already have over 40 pit-stops around the city (the map will be up very soon on our website) and now all we need is lots of registered riders. We again this year have sponsorship, this time from Assiniboine Credit Union, providing a donation to the Winnipeg Repair Education and Cycling Hub (WRENCH) based on $ 0.25 for every registered rider up to an upset limit of $ 1000.00. We need at least 4000 registered riders to maximize this donation, so please register http://biketoworkdaywinnipeg.org/index.php/register/ .
Remember that by registering you add your voice to ours and help us build a more bike-friendly Winnipeg. Together we can help promote the bicycle for everyday transportation and advocate for improved cycling infrastructure and awareness. In addition there are prizes to be won, schwag and bike tune-ups at various pit-stops, a free BBQ featuring with Boon Burger cuisine and Half Pints Peddle Pusher Ale (not free, but really good). No place to shower before work, we have the YMCA offering free admission to their facilities so that you can't use that excuse.
This year we are also having a number of "count down events" including a student day, employers day, family day, and a movie night. Check out the details at our website http://biketoworkdaywinnipeg.org/index.php/test-events/ .
It's going to be a great day so help us make the 6th annual Bike to Work Day a HUGE success. For more information check out www.biketoworkdaywinnipeg.org.
Please distirbute widely and feel free to print and post the attached Bike to Work Day poster.!
Thanks
Dave
