About Bike Week Winnipeg | Bike Week Winnipeg

Why bike to work?

  • Reduced carbon emissions: Biking helps us contribute to a greener future by reducing our carbon footprint and having less cars on the road.

  • Improved health: Cycling promotes physical fitness and mental well-being.

 

Tips for biking to work:

  • Plan your route: Check out the AT (active transportation) map for Winnipeg to find the best biking routes. WinnipegCyclingMap.pdf. Check out the pit stop map on Bike Weeks Website.  

  • Allow extra time: Give yourself a buffer to avoid rushing. If you’re able, try your route in advance so you know things work for you.

  • Tune up your bike: Ensure your bike is working and tuned up before your ride.

  • Shower and change options: Many work places offer showers and you can bring a change of clothes for added comfort.

  • Secure bike parking: Know where to lock up your bike. You’re work place may have secure bike parking already. Learn how to use your locks: (348) Proper Bike Lock-Up Video with a U-Lock - YouTube
