"We are sure the chance of winning a prize of this nature will motivate people to join this year's event, while continuing to grow the buzz around all sustainable modes of transportation," he said. "We are happy to offer a Trek Verve+ 2 E-bike as this year's Spring Go By Bike Week grand prize," said Karl Ullrich, owner of Oak Bay Bicycles. Organizers say it is free to register and participants will be eligible for over $20,000 in prizes, plus bike giveaways and vacation getaways.
