SASKATOON — Saskatoon will kick off Spring BYXE Week on Monday, May 15, with activities and events planned throughout the week, including Bike to Work Day on Thursday, May 18.
Local advocacy group, Saskatoon Cycles, is coordinating the events in partnership with the City, including the #BYXE Week scavenger hunt and Great Saskatoon Bike Passport Adventure.
Cycling is a convenient and low-cost form of everyday transportation that benefits Saskatoon by decreasing traffic congestion, noise and air pollution.
Riding a bike is also great for physical and mental health; regular exercise leaves you feeling refreshed, energized and alert.
Where will the ride take you? BYXE Week is a great time to grab your bikes and explore Saskatoon and all its beauty as spring blooms.
The 2023 Cycling Guide is now available; visit saskatoon.ca/byxe for bike routes and safety tips.
Bike to Work Day will be held on Thursday, May 18. Commuter Stations, sponsored by local organizations and businesses, will serve refreshments and snacks for people on bikes during their morning (7 a.m. to 9 a.m.) and afternoon (4 p.m. to 6 p.m.) commutes.
If you live too far away to ride your bike, consider taking Saskatoon Transit part of the way. All buses are equipped with front bike racks that are free and easy to use. Racks on the front of the buses hold two bicycles on a first-come, first-served basis, accommodating tires up to two-inch wide.
Plan your trip using the Transit app and Google Transit. Share your pedal adventures with #BYXE on your social media channels and we may share them on our pages, plus you will be entered to win prizes.
