GoByBike Week 2025 is in full swing across Kelowna and the Central Okanagan from May 31 to June 6, and the city is buzzing with two-wheeled energy. This annual event celebrates cycling as a fun, healthy, and eco-friendly way to get around, while offering exciting community events, prizes, and a chance to connect with fellow riders.

What Is GoByBike Week?

GoByBike Week is a province-wide initiative encouraging British Columbians to swap four wheels for two—whether commuting, running errands, or exploring the outdoors. In Kelowna, the event is supported by the City of Kelowna, Westbank First Nation, and other regional partners. This year, over 1,200 riders have already logged nearly 9,000 kilometers, saving nearly 2,000 kg of greenhouse gas emissions .
