What’s In it For me?

Feel good

Bikes + spring weather + quiet streets = exploring your neighbourhood at a safe distance from others.

Learn better

Schooling has been extremely tough this year. With outdoor activity and fresh air, kids can focus better when they need to be working indoors.

Lessen your impact

Now is the perfect time to leave the car at home more often, reducing emissions and air pollution!

Activity Kit 

What’s in the activity kit?

A set of activities to learn about transportation, experience the joy of riding bikes, and get outside to explore your neighbourhood. Learn new skills and have fun! You can do a section at a time, or mix and match! Do one, do some, or do them all.

The activities are in 5 categories: creative design, mapping, skill building, know your bike, and share your ride.
