2013 Workplace Shifting Gears Challenge ready to go!
May is notable in Peterborough for two great events: the Silver Bean Café opens on May 1st and May is the month for the Shifting Gears Workplace Transportation Challenge!
Shifting Gears is a month-long transportation competition and campaign in the City of Peterborough encouraging people to leave their cars at home and use sustainable ways to get to work: walk, bike, take transit, share a ride, or work from home. The 2013 Shifting gears program is packed with great incentives and great events to help get more people to join in. It is a fun, city-wide, community event.
Shifting Gears highlights include Bikefest, a celebration of all things cyclelogical on Friday, May 31st from 3:00 to 6:00 pm in Millennium Park, and a Guaranteed Ride Home Program, which will get you home in an emergency.
Sign up yourself and sign up your friends and co-workers to make the 2013 Shifting Gears event the biggest ever.
