Fall Go By Bike Week returns from Sept. 23 to Oct. 6, bringing seasoned cyclists and new riders together to make the most of cycling around Metro Vancouver and celebrate the cycling community.

Presented by HUB Cycling, there are events, prizes and great cycling experiences to be had as part of this community event.

Cycling is a great way to see your city and one of the fastest ways, especially in more urban areas. Combine cycling with transit, and you’ve got an even more extensive network to explore.

There are many benefits to cycling beyond just shortening your commute. It’s also good for your heart, muscles and balance. If you’ve been thinking about trying it out, Go By Bike Week is a fantastic time to get started.
