Celebrate bike unity during this year’s fourth Annual U Bike Week. Virtual and outdoor events will provide safety education, bike resources and fun as a way to grow the cycling community.
“U Bike Week is a student-focused event, ensuring those who ride a bike now or are new to riding have the opportunity to connect, celebrate together and learn about what is happening to support their effort to be healthy and improve air quality,” said Ginger Cannon, the U’s active transportation manager.
U Bike Week kicks off Thursday, Sept. 23 with the Bike Utah Spoke Series: All Bodies on Bikes event featuring University of Utah alum Kailey Kornhauser, whose message that cycling is for everyone fits perfectly with the BIKE UNITY theme.
The week’s other events—the Comm-U-nity Slow Roll, Bike Fair, and Bikers’ Breakfast—will provide resources and giveaways to university bike riders. The University of Utah Police will be available at the Bike Fair and Bikers’ Breakfast to hand out free locks to those who register their bikes. Remember to bring your bike and university ID card.
U Bike Week is sponsored by the Sustainability Office, Bike Utah, Campus Store, Commuter Services, University of Utah Health, Point B and the University of Utah Police.
