About Bike Week 2022

From December 4-9, we will 'Bike for Climate', keeping in mind the extreme climate impact events affecting the world.

Road transportation, such as cars, motorcycles, and buses, accounts for 11.9% of global greenhouse gases emissions (Source: ourworldindata.org). Biking is a greener mode of transportation which is fun and keeps you healthy. 

Community Life, Red Sea Cyclists club, Health, Safety and Environment and Office of Sustainability have teamed up for this year’s Bike Week to inspire everyone to pedal their way to healthy living and safer transportation!
