The Rotary Club of Cranbrook Sunrise is thrilled to be coordinating this year’s GoByBikeBC Week events for Cranbrook.

Activities are planned to engage the community of Cranbrook in healthy outdoor cycling fun. Any time you use your bike for transportation or fun between May 29 to June 4, you can log those trips and qualify for one of many prize draws including a Cycling Adventure in Croatia, sponsored by Exodus Travels

Each year, GoByBike BC’s Spring Bike to Work & School Week encourages British Columbian’s to choose their bicycles for transportation rather than a motor vehicle: Converting sedentary time behind the steering wheel, into time pedalling their bicycle wheels; enjoying healthy, environmentally friendly, active transportation.

During the 2022 spring event 55,382 BC riders cycled 2,256,176kms and saved 489,140 kilograms of greenhouse gases from entering our atmosphere.
