Celebrate Bike Month

June is Bike Month

Celebrate Bike Month with the City of Edmonton and enjoy free pedal powered events throughout June. Cycling is an active transportation option that helps reduce traffic congestion, conserve Edmonton's road infrastructure, and protect the environment.

During Bike Month, Edmontonians are encouraged to support cycling in our City by biking to work or school at least one day per week.

Bike to School

Throughout Bike Month, try biking to school at least one day per week. Below are some tips for organizing safe and fun bike to school events in your community.

Have Bike Parade
  • Draw a route map and schedule a cycling bus.
  • You may have two or three buses coming from different directions that join for a triumphant ride into the school.
Organize a Bike-a-Thon
  • Combine fundraising with exercise and fresh air.
  • Students collect pledges for biking to school.
  • The class with the largest number of participants could win a prize.
Map Safe Routes to School
  • Get students to mark their route to school on a neighbourhood map.
  • The most popular routes may be identified as Best Routes to School.
Assign Biking Buddies
  • Peers in the same neighbourhood arrange to bike to school together.
  • Older students can partner with younger students, to model and promote safety.
Switch to Bike-pooling
  • Parents who already carpool can arrange to bike children to school instead of driving.
