It’s time for the SHCS Road Warriors—one of UBC’s top teams!—to get ready for the next round of Go by Bike Week (formerly Bike To Work Week), which takes place October 16–29. This fall, you’ll have two weeks to pedal for prizes..

We would love to have new SHCS recruits from all departments and divisions join the riders already on our roster.

The goal is to log the team’s bike rides during Go by Bike Week, any length and for any reason—such as riding to work, for fun, or while doing errands. Be part of the change and help make Metro Vancouver a happier, healthier place to live, work and play.

Prizes

Instead of daily prizes, you can win prizes from three different prize categories based on how many trips you log throughout the entire week. Remember: The more you ride, the more prizes you’re eligible to win!

UBC Facilities, Student Housing and Community Services, and Safety and Risk Services are encouraging all parents with children in Grade 9, who wish to participate, to bring their children to work for the day.

Due to the nature of the work done at the university, and the potential safety hazards involved, a guided day of activities (including lunch) will be planned for students who are unable to spend the day on the job with their parent. Parents are also invited to the lunch!
