After the success of last year’s Bike to Shop, we are incredibly excited to announce our partnership with HUB Cycling to bring Bike to Shop back to Austin Heights this summer!

Taking place from Saturday, August 13 to Sunday, August 21, in local neighbourhoods all across Metro Vancouver, we invite you to ride your bikes over to Austin Heights and explore our vibrant neighbourhood on two wheels.

During Bike to Shop, local businesses will be offering amazing freebies and sweet deals for people biking to their businesses! Plus, Don’t forget to stop by one of HUB Cycling’s Knowledge HUBs for free snacks, local cycling information, prizes and more! Register for free at BikeHub.ca/BiketoShop.
