It’s Bike to Work Week next week: October 29-November 2, 2012!

So if you’re looking for a reason to try cycling to work, now’s your chance. Bike to Work Week features commuter stations set up throughout Metro Vancouver to reward you while you ride. Plus you can team up with your coworkers to compete against companies in the region, giving you a chance to win great prizes!

Sign your team up at the Bike To Work Week website, and you’ll find a place to log your commutes and info about the commuter stations throughout the region. (The stations have snacks and free bike mechanic services!)

And follow the Buzzer along next week: we’ve asked intrepid TransLink cyclist and Vancouver is Awesome cycling blogger Kristin Lillyman to share some of her stories from the road!

Are you pumped for it? Good! Now let’s reach back into the archives and grab some of our existing pointers for biking to work!
