The Bike Buddy Program

The goals of the program: 
- To improve my confidence to bike frequently by learning about cycling safety and traffic rules 
- To explore the city and my neighborhood while having a good time with my mentor 
- To have an effective and affordable commute to places, services, people, jobs, etc. 
- To meet and make new friends who also participate in the program 
   
As a Bike Buddy, I pledge: 
1. To complete the entire three-month program by meeting my Bike Buddy mentor at least once a week on 1-2 hours bike rides. 
2. To attend any group events and activities organized throughout the duration of the program. 
3. To maintain communication with my Bike Buddy mentor once a week to coordinate the bike rides. 
4. To complete the weekly trip log/ any survey sent by the program coordinator. 
5. To reach out to the program coordinator when any concern or issues come up.   
6. To return the loaned bike if I cannot complete the full program. 
 
I have read the Bike Buddy Commitment pledge and understand the program and the activities that are part of it. The bike provided at the start of the program is a loan. If I do not complete or drop out of the program, I will return the bike and accessories back to the Ecology Action Centre.
