The Dizzy Cycles 2010 Vancouver Road Closure Bike Commute Challenge, February 8 – March 12

What is The Dizzy Cycles 2010 Vancouver Road Closure Bike Commute Challenge? A lot of us are fair weather commuters. It’s pretty easy cycling in Vancouver from April to October, but bike commuting in February and March when the rain won’t stop, the sun doesn’t shine, and the temperature can hover around 6°C, and yes sometimes it does still snow, well that is a whole other challenge for most of us. Only the impending road closures, over-crowded public transport, and general road chaos forced on us by the 2010 Winter Olympics will make some of us consider starting our bicycle commuting season earlier, or for some, for the first time.

But don’t fret, we want to hear from you, the Vancouver Olympians by default — the Vancouver Bicycle Commuter. From February 8 to March 12 send us your tales and anecdotes about riding your bike in Vancouver during the Olympics. Close-calls, good samaritan acts, funny sights, famous athlete spottings, weird run-ins with security staff, etc. we want hear how you rode your way around the biggest party we’ve had since Expo’86! So park your vehicles, jump off the bus, dust your bikes off a few months early and start riding to work, school, to do your shopping, visit your family and friends. Read More→
