BIKE To Work Week concludes in Terrace this morning with coffee, muffins and fruit on the millennium trail just west of the Chill Soda Shop.
The food and prizes, beginning at 7:30 am and lasting until 9 am, come courtesy of the local Bike to Work Week committee which has spent the week encouraging people to leave their vehicles at home and either bike or walk to work.
The city is in competition with Smithers to determine who can enter the most teams and cyclists.
And next Friday, June 7, young cyclists are invited to a bike safety rodeo hosted by the Terrace RCMP from 4 to 7 pm.
This event will take place in the Farmer’s Market Square, the parking lot beside George Little Park. On hand will be the Terrace RCMP, the Terrace and Thornhill Fire Departments, BC Paramedics, and Search and Rescue Volunteers to interact with the youth.
The bike rodeo is a hands-on, interactive day, designed to teach children fundamental biking skills, road safety, and rules of the road. The Fire Departments will be stamping all bikes with a security number.
This is a free event open to all youth of all ages. All participants receive a participant prize bag and a draw ticket for the grand door prize of two brand new bikes. There will also be numerous other door prizes.
Sport Chek will be serving hot dogs and refreshments for each participant.
