Roll to the Vancouver Bike Show

This weekend CMHA Vancouver-Burnaby will be hosting a booth at the annual Vancouver Bike Show. The bike show is this weekend March 3 and 4, 2012. This is the place to be this weekend for anyone with an interest in riding - see bike demos, meet pro-riders and much more at this two day affair.

The CMHA booth will be providing information about our upcoming fourth annual community bike ride. Our bike ride brings together hundreds of cyclists riding through the city to raise money for mental health services in our community. Register now if you are interested in a fun day of riding, which is full of family friendly activities benefitting a great cause!

If you are planning on biking to the event this weekend always remember the five basic principles of safe riding:

• maintain your bicycle in good working order
• be as visible as possible to others
• learn the skills needed to control the bike
• cycle in traffic safely and predictably
• know and obey the rules of the ride

To learn more, the bike show this weekend will help any rider from novice to advanced learn training tips, how to ride safely in the city and the importance of staying healthy and getting outside. Hope to see you there!
