BC Transit offering free rides for cyclists during Go By Bike Week

Getting around Greater Victoria for cyclists just got a little easier — and cheaper.

BC Transit announced Monday that it will offer free rides within the Victoria Regional Transit System for cyclists during Go By Bike Week, which runs from Sept. 27 until Oct. 3.

In order to ride for free, Go By Bike Week participants are required to use the BC Transit bus bike racks or show their bike helmet when boarding the bus.

Buses have bike racks on the front of the bus, which BC Transit says makes it easier for cyclists to combine two forms of sustainable transportation when travelling long distances or when the weather becomes less desirable for cycling.

BC Transit says representatives will be at the Saanich Municipal Hall on Oct. 3 from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. to demonstrate how to use the bike racks on the front of the buses.
