Bike-to-Work Week organizers really want to make it easy for people to bike to work next week.
To eliminate the impediment of safely storing bikes, they've set up Salmon Arm's first-ever week-long supervised Bicycle parkade – free of charge.
In an effort to encourage people to give their bicycle a try, a free pancake breakfast in available on May 30th. Plus the first 100 bikes to use the Bicycle parkade score $2 Bike-Bucks courtesy of Salmon Arm Downtown.
"We're excited to support this special week-long incentive encouraging folks to ride their bicycles to work, to shop, or even just to hang out," said Roger Parenteau, of Downtown Salmon Arm.
Parenteau encourages anyone hesitant about the ride back up the hill to try the racks on bus transit.
The Bicycle parkade is jointly hosted by the Shuswap Cycling Society, the Shuswap Trail Alliance, Downtown Salmon Arm and Roberta Bruinin who leads the Butt Out Stop Smoking program.
"Roberta owns the store front and offered it for Bike Week prior to holding her seven day stop-smoking program there the following week," said Al Journeau, president of the Shuswap Cycling Society. "It's a perfect location and we're really appreciative. So give your bicycle a whirl for the week and use the free service."
People are also encouraged to stop by the Bicycle parkade store front to check out the display of information and provide input on making communities more bike-friendly.
"We're right in the midst of preparing a draft bicycle connector plan with the City of Salmon Arm," said Phil McIntyre-Paul of the Shuswap Trail Alliance.
The daily Bicycle parkade runs from May 30 to June 3, and is located at 91 Hudson Ave NE in downtown Salmon Arm, two doors down from the Pink Cherry Cafe. Park your bike for free anytime between 7:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Storage is supervised all day by the Shuswap Trail Alliance team.
