2021 Bike safety checks
Every year, A Better City TMA partners with local bicycle shops to offer free bike safety checks to employees and tenants at our member locations during warm weather months. The Bike Safety Checks are our way of getting to know the cycling community and rewarding cyclists for their dedication to a sustainable commuting choice.
Check below to see if there's an upcoming Bike Safety Check at your workplace. Please note: 2021 events are subject to cancellation, rescheduling, or replacement with virtual workshops as public health guidelines continue to evolve.
