Bike to work—and pose with your ride for posterity
Our former editorial intern, Meghan Stothers, is the poster girl for Victoria’s Bike to Work Week this month. Meghan was the model cycling commuter while on staff with us, earning frequent fashion kudos for cycling to work in stylish skirts and heels. Meghan appears in the poster below with her daughter and a colleague at her new job with the Ministry of Environment.
Cycling commuters in close to 20 communities across the province will get into gear for Bike to Work Week, May 11 to 17. As of May 7, more than 530 teams had registered to participate in the Victoria event.
Bike to Work Week promotes cycling and the many benefits of two-wheeled travel, including reduced traffic congestion and pollution, and improved personal health. “Celebration stations” with food and drinks are part of the fun.
In June, Vancouver cyclists can become part of an installation at the Vancouver Museum entitled “Velo-City, Vancouver and the Bicycle Revolution.” The photographic exhibition, running June 4 to September 7, will explore “Vancouver’s human-powered revolution that’s changing the way people experience and relate to the city, their neighbourhoods, and to their own bodies.” Submit a photo of yourself and your ride online and answer a few questions to join the revolution.
