Burlington Bike! Bingo is a card you get from participating outlets (I have some here in my office) for $2 and there are 24 businesses in which you visit to get your card “stamped”. If you get bingo (a line of stamps) you get 5 prizes that you pick up from certain places. If you get the entire card stamped, you get 7 (or more) prizes of even more value. It is SOOO sweet. Check out the details and get inspired by people who have already been out getting stamps. One person has filled their card already and is claiming his prizes! Come get a card from me (the Transportation Office, CCM102) ASAP (bring $2)!

Sunday May 15th there is a Surprise! Ride starting at Maglianero at 2pm where there will be surprises along the way, prizes and other awesome stuff with a party back at Maglianero at the end. Approx 1 hour using cruisy bike paths as much as possible. Check out the details here.

Another fun event next Friday is National Bike to Work Day, so if you do manage to ride, there are a bunch of coffee shops that are giving bikers free stuff, Feldmans Bagels close to Lakeside is included among others. Breakfast: Better by Bike. Check out the details.

We have two more bike events for Champlain Employees this month. May 17th in the CCM Commuter Lounge at 1pm we have a Biking Basics workshop for those that are curious and want to know more about biking in general. Then on May 26th at Noon at Lakeside is an On-street bike skills workshop to get you out there on YOUR bike (or use one of the ChampRides) to learn some street smarts. It will be in our parking lot, the bike path and low stress streets so dont worry! Both events are facilitated by Local Motion and there is a $50 gift card raffle at each event!

Also, dont forget to join us for the weekly ChampRidersCruise on Wednesdays, leaving IDX lot at 1pm for a nice social, cruisey bike ride around town. North Beach was amazing this week!

Spread the word through your networks and Roll on,
