Winnipeg’s annual Bike Week might look a bit different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although the event, which runs from Monday through June 13, is still geared toward encouraging Winnipeggers to hit city streets on their bikes, some aspects are going virtual.
“While we are limited in what we can do in person this year, Bike Week Winnipeg is still
committed to hosting a celebration that facilitates connections,” said Bike Week board chair Dave Elmore.
