Surrey’s Rotary Club hosts Bike Day on June 7 at Holland Park with scenic rides, family fun, and a push for better cycling infrastructure.
Cycling enthusiasts in Surrey have a reason to mark their calendars. The Rotary Club of Surrey is gearing up to host its 2025 Bike Day on Saturday, June 7, beginning at 9:30 a.m. from the southwest corner of Holland Park. The event aims to promote “health, harmony and happiness” through community cycling and a shared commitment to active living.
Choose Your Ride: Scenic Routes for All Ages
Participants can choose between two routes: a 7-kilometre family-friendly ride and a more intensive 16-kilometre loop. The shorter course, ideal for casual riders and families, takes roughly 40 minutes to complete. Those looking for a longer challenge can opt for the extended route, expected to take about an hour.
To participate, cyclists must bring their own bike, helmet, and water bottle. Registration is available online at portal.clubrunner.ca/259, with fees set at $10 for individual riders or $20 for families.
Building Awareness for Biking Infrastructure
Lal Baniya, the event’s organizer, said the annual event also aims to spotlight the city’s growing cycling infrastructure. “The city is building infrastructure for cycling in the area, and we want to get even better biking infrastructure in Surrey,” Baniya noted. “Hopefully this will give exposure to the event and attract the attention of the public.”
Community Support and Regional Momentum
Bike Day is supported by HUB Cycling, a key promoter of Metro Vancouver’s Go By Bike Week from May 31 to June 6. HUB’s week-long initiative includes group rides, webinars, and bike tours, all designed to encourage more people to take up cycling as a daily mode of transport.
Elsewhere in the region, the Tour de Concord returns to Vancouver on Sunday, July 13. Billed as Canada’s largest criterium cycling race and family bike festival, the event at Concord Pacific Place promises a full day of racing, family-friendly activities, and giveaways — including bikes and a luxury Sea to Sky getaway. All registration fees from the Tour will support youth and high-performance cycling programs through Cycling BC.
From local parks to major festivals, cycling continues to bring communities together. Don’t miss Surrey’s Bike Day — a celebration of wellness, unity, and the joy of the ride.
