Bike sale to boost cycling culture on campus

A bicycle sale Wednesday, May 8, in the student centre will feature about 25 two-wheeled vehicles refurbished by the Bike Kitchen, a non-profit social enterprise in Walkerville.

Select models will sell for under $250, with savings of $50 on those priced $150, and $75 off those priced $200 — all come with a free high-quality lock.

Students can also enter a free draw for a new Tuesday brand city cruiser and cycling accessories.

“This will be the fourth sale we have done with the Bike Kitchen and the CAW Student Centre,” says G.S.S. executive director Austin Roth. “They are great partners in making active transportation accessible to students. We see more students riding their bikes to and from school and we strongly support the growing cycling culture in our campus community.”

The sale will run 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday in the student centre’s Commons area.

Potential buyers can preview all the bikes on Tuesday, May 7, starting around 11 a.m.
