Winter Wheels is back! For the sixth year, B!KE’s Winter Wheels program will provide 25 aspiring cold-weather riders with equipment and support to cycle through the winter. In November, participants attend a one-on-one consultation where they receive a free set of winter tires and basic information on how to ride through the winter season safely and comfortably. During December, they’ll take part in a workshop on winter riding gear and join B!KE’s annual Winter Lights Glow Ride. January and February events include workshops on safe riding skills and winter bike maintenance and a chance to be part of International Winter Ride to Work Day. Program participants commit to get out on their bike at least once a week throughout the winter and share their experience to help increase the visibility of winter bike riders in the city of Peterborough.

Want to join our riders this year?  Applications for Winter Wheels 2022 program are open from now until end of day October 14. Participants selected for the program will be notified by October 21.  Apply online and get a grip on winter!
