Bike To Work Grows And Saves Gas

A Vernon city councillor says the city’s efforts to become more bike-friendly are paying off.

Juliette Cunningham says the recent Bike To Work week saw growing participation, with over 12-hundred riders registering.

She says one of council’s priorities has been to add more cycling lanes for a healthier community.

“And even if they’re only using them during the seasonal months and not in the winter, at least for those ten months or eight months, whatever, they’re active. And I just think that’s important.”
