Join GoByBike Weeks in Whistler
Each spring and fall, Whistler joins GoByBike Weeks, a province-wide challenge that gets locals biking instead of driving. Whether it’s commuting to school or work, or running errands, these week-long events make it easy to swap the car for a bike.
Spring 2025 GoByBike Week takes place May 31 to June 6.

Free Basic Bike Checks
SATURDAY, MAY 31 @ 10 AM – 2 PM | WHISTLER PUBLIC LIBRARY
As part of the Repair Café event, we’re offering free basic bike maintenance to help keep you riding safely. A Repair Café is a community event where volunteers help fix broken household items—everything from toasters to torn clothing—in an effort to reduce waste and share skills. And yes, that includes bikes!
Our friendly mechanic will be on hand to provide:
- Quick safety check
- Minor adjustments (air, brakes, chain, basic lube)
- Advice on any bigger issues that may need a visit to a full-service bike shop
Please note: Each tune-up is limited to 15 minutes per bike so we can assist as many riders as possible. While our mechanics will do their best to get you road-ready, they won’t be equipped for full repairs or part replacements on-site. The mechanic will be on site from 10 AM to 2PM.
Bonus! Show your GoByBike profile at the event and receive a coupon for a free Forecast Coffee hot beverage and cookie—a little treat for taking sustainable transportation seriously.
Cycle Stop: Forecast Coffee
MONDAY JUNE 2 @ 8 AM – 10 AM | FORECAST COFFEE IN FUNCTION JUNCTION

AWARE is excited to again be partnering with the RMOW and the GoByBike BC Society to deliver GoByBike Week in Whistler.
This initiative supports AWARE’s strategic plan of building a sustainable, climate-resilient community. It directly contributes to the RMOW’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets, and the Go By Bike initiative plays a critical role in advancing Big Move #1: Move Beyond the Car, outlined in the RMOW Big Moves Climate Action Implementation Plan. The initiative is also directly aligned with the RMOW Active Transportation Strategy, supporting the goal of achieving 50% of all trips by transit or active transportation by 2030.
