Go By Bike Week Whistler is organized by AWARE in partnership with the RMOW. The Fall series runs for two weeks and the aim is to motivate everyone to get out on their bikes for the last remaining weeks of ridable weather. Over these two weeks we’ll be focused on using our bikes to commute to work, to school, or for daily trips and errands. Whistler has been an avid participant in GoByBike Week over the years, seeing a huge turnout among our community of bikers and attracting new riders. Make the most of the last few weeks of snow-free weather, and sign up to this Fall’s #GoByBike! Plus once the snow falls, don’t worry – you can switch to the bus instead!
Biking is good for your physical health, your mental health, and the health of our community and environment. Choose to bike instead of using a motor vehicle during these GoByBike Weeks and enjoy these benefits and more. Plus, once you start logging your trips, you’ll get entered to win some awesome prizes!
Participate solo or join a team with your co-workers, family, or friends. ANY RIDE COUNTS – trips to work, a shop, the gym, or just for leisure!
