Events & Fundraising<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our club thrives from our community of UVic, the city, and the country. Our annual fundraisers include charity rides, bike washes, and giveback nights to name a few, so you’ll be seeing us on campus frequently! We’d especially like to thank our mentors and resources.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mentorship & Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our club, the first of its kind in Canada, designs, builds, tests, rides, and promotes bikes across campus and the community. Bikes matter because we all enjoy riding them. Our club offers hands-on engineering experience, unlike anything else at UVic. We’re expanding our impact and operations across our school, our community, and the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re company or organization who would like to sponsor an event, project, or become a charitable donor, please shoot us a note and contact us here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>
