Look out motorists! There are going to be many more bicycles on the Cranbrook roadways during GoByBike Cranbrook Week from May 31 to June 6.

The GoByBike Cranbrook Organizing Committee from the Sunrise Rotary Club of Cranbrook is teaming up with local sponsors, media and the City of Cranbrook to promote participation in this sSpring’s GoByBikeBC Week. A goal has been set to try and reach a total of 500 registered riders.

To help create some more local FUN for 2021, a new Cranbrook TEAM CHALLENGE has been developed. The GoByBikeBC registration system offers the ability to REGISTER a “Team” and “Riders” for FREE.

Folks can easily sign up their company, Community Group, and Family/Friends Cycling Crew through the provincial website www.GoByBikeBC.ca Teammates will register themselves individually and “Join a Team” when they sign up. Then it is time to tune up your bikes and plan some fun (Covid-safe) rides to pile up the kilometres and challenge for one of three GoByBike Cranbrook Team Trophies!

Each cyclist will log their own individual rides which will be tracked for the team’s total.

The Team Categories for the Cranbrook Team Challenges will be divided as follows:

Piccolo Team: 2-8 Riders;

Medio Team: 9-19 Riders;

Gran Team: 20+ Riders.
