Carleton University is gearing up to celebrate Let’s Bike Month. This initiative aims to encourage students, staff, and faculty to embrace sustainable transportation options, particularly biking, throughout the month of June. In collaboration with Healthy Workplace, Sustainability Carleton has an array of exciting activities planned to promote the benefits of cycling.
Road Ravens – Carleton’s Let’s Bike team
Let’s Bike Month kicks off with the opportunity to join the Carleton team, Road Ravens, on letsbike.ca. This friendly competition encourages members of the Carleton community to commute by bike and track their progress. Participants can log their bike rides and get entered to win some exciting prizes, fostering a sense of camaraderie and motivation to choose cycling as a sustainable commuting option. Join the team here.
Free Cycling Workshop
Healthy Workplace is also working with Envirocentre to host a cycling workshop, Discover Your City by Bike, on June 19th. This workshop will help inspire your next adventure by sharing some bikeable destinations in Ottawa that you may not be aware of and some top route planning tips. This workshop is for people of all ages and cycling abilities. The workshop is free, but registration is needed. Sign-up here.
Free Bike Tune-Ups
Sustainability Carleton will also host a day of free bike tune-ups for faculty, staff, and students on campus. Come by and let them look at your bike, give you qualified advice, and give your bike a quick summer tune-up so you can take advantage of the many cycling paths Ottawa has to offer! We anticipate a lot of interest in this event, so registration will be required. We will draw names at random from the list of registrants. Stay tuned to our website and socials for more details and information about registration for the event.
And More!
In addition to these activities, we will also share some cycling tools and tips throughout the month to help encourage this sustainable transportation option.
Let’s Bike Month at Carleton serves as a reminder of the university’s dedication to sustainability and its commitment to reducing carbon emissions. By embracing cycling and encouraging the community to adopt active transportation, Carleton aims to inspire long-lasting habits that contribute to a greener and healthier future.
