This past Saturday, March 15th, the Bike Co-op celebrated it’s 15th Anniversary in style by throwing a good ol’ fashioned shindig.  Thank you to everyone who attended to show their support for the Bike Co-op, and to everyone who worked so hard to make the night such a great success!

A special thank you to The Ruffled Feathers for providing some awesome tunes.  We hope you enjoyed our enthusiastic dancing 🙂

Also thanks to all the Bike Co-op alumni who made the trek up to UBC (some from as far as Portland!) to come celebrate with us.  It was great to see so many faces from over the years.

And of course, thanks to the Bike Co-op’s Board of Directors and staff for putting in so much time and excellent work bringing it all together!

More pictures will be posted to our Flickr group in the coming days, but in the meantime, here are a few shots from the party!

All attendees. What a night!

Party-goers dancing to the Ruffled Feathers’ sweet, sweet music.

Past presidents of the Bike Co-op, and our newly elected Pres Tamara Brown! Congrats!

Another BIKES 101 workshop is coming up!

Just in time to plan your summer trips, this workshop walks you through the wonderful world of bike touring! From route planning tips, what to take on the road with you, key safety advice, and some stories to get you inspired, you’ll be aching to hit the road on two wheels!

• Where: The Bike Kitchen
• When: Wednesday, March 19th, 6:30-8pm

Remember to RSVP here!

Our Annual General Meeting & 15th Anniversary Party is just around the corner! And you’re invited!

All guests are welcome to attend the AGM, but we ask that our general members (especially if you will be running for the Bike Co-op’s Board of our Directors!) to please attend this portion of the evening so that they may vote in our elections.
