Winter BYXE Week will take place February 15 - 23, 2025. Many activities and events are planned throughout the week, including Bike to Work Day on Thursday, February 20. Local advocacy group, Saskatoon Cycles, is coordinating the events in partnership with the City of Saskatoon, including a BYXE Week scavenger hunt and photo contest.  

“Riding a bike is great for physical and mental health; regular exercise leaves you feeling refreshed, energized and alert,” says Nathalie Baudais, Transportation Engineering Manager. 

“Don’t limit your cycling adventures to warm weather seasons. Add winter cycling to your list of must-do winter activities like skating, sledding, skiing and snowshoeing. It's a convenient and low-cost form of everyday transportation that benefits Saskatoon by decreasing traffic congestion, noise and air pollution.”  

BYXE Week is a great time to explore Saskatoon. Visit saskatoon.ca/byxe for bike routes and safety tips. 

Bike to Work Day will be held on Thursday, February 20. Commuter Stations, sponsored by local organizations and businesses, will be serving refreshments and snacks for people on bikes during their morning and afternoon commutes. Visit saskatooncycles.org/winter-byxe for a list station locations and times. 

This initiative underscores the joy of biking, promoting good health, saving money and contributing to environmental sustainability.  

If you live too far away to ride your bike, consider taking Saskatoon Transit part of the way. All buses are equipped with front bike racks that are free and easy to use. Plan your trip using the Transit app. 

For detailed information and event updates, residents can visit  saskatooncycles.org/winter-byxe and join our Facebook Event for updates!
