Go By Bike Week

Thanks for Joining us for Spring Go By Bike Week 2025

Spring Go By Bike Week was May 31 to June 6, 2025!

We had an action packed week that started with a number of Bike Infrastructure Celebration Rides leaving from 5 communities on May 31, all culminating at our first Celebration Station at the north end of the Selkirk Trestle.

It’s not to late to register below and log at least one ride by June 13th, for a chance to win prizes!

Why Register?

Cycling is proven to improve happiness and productivity, as well as both mental and physical health! With gas prices on the rise, there is no better time to leave the car at home. Not to mention, it’s super fun!

Aside from personal benefits, Capital Bike organizes Celebration Stations along popular cycling routes, runs challenges, and offers hundreds of prizes.

Additionally, Go By Bike Week is a strong advocacy tool for us. These numbers help us work with local leaders to improve cycling in the Capital Region!

Team Up!

Encourage others to ride, run challenges or competitions, plan group rides, and spend quality time together!
