BYXE Week 2026 – May 9 – 17

The City of Saskatoon and Saskatoon Cycles are once again partnering to present Spring BYXE Week, this year from May 9 – 17. The nine-day event aims to promote and encourage cycling year-round and celebrate everyone who hops on two wheels to get to work, go for a casual ride, run some errands, get a good workout, or do whatever else moves them.

Cycling is a convenient and low-cost form of everyday transportation that improves our city by decreasing traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution. It’s also great for our physical and mental health; regular exercise leaves us feeling refreshed, energized, and alert.

BYXE Week helps remind people how fun and beneficial getting on your bike can be by packing the week full of exploration, adventure, and community.

Check out all of the planned activities and see what inspires you to roll with us!

BYXE Week Kickoff Slow Roll (Sat, May 9)

Help us launch BYXE Week with a leisurely ride on Saturday, May 9.

We’ll muster at Gather Local Market and at 2:00 PM embark on a casual roll around a quiet city route.

The ride will conclude at Gather Local Market for free refreshments and fellowship.

Please REGISTER HERE FOR THE RIDE and help us make sure there are enough treats to go around.

All you need is yourself and your usual cycling gear. We’ll get BYXE Week off to a great start!

Bike to Work Day (Thurs, May 14)

During BYXE Week, one day is selected as Bike to Work Day, when local businesses and organizations host commuter stations located throughout the city and distribute free snacks, coffee, and other treats as a special salute to those who get to work by bike. Some stations host games, trivia, giveaways, and general camaraderie, all of which are designed to give your ride to work an extra dose of fun and engagement. The stations are open to all bike riders, but if you’re on your way to your job, give yourself an extra pat on the back!

Post a photo of you and your bike at any station and comment on one of our BYXE posts for an entry in the draw.

This year’s Bike to Work Day is Thursday, May 14. Morning stations run from 7AM – 9AM. After work commuter stations have variable times. ***Locations will be updated on this map up to May 14.***

The Saskatoon Cycles Tune-Up Tent (Sun, May 10)

Squeaky chain? Tires a little low? Not sure about your bike seat height? These subtle deficiencies can sneak up on you and make your BYXE Week ride a little less enjoyable.

The Saskatoon Cycles Tune-Up Tent is here to help.

On Sunday, May 10, from 1PM to 5PM, we’ll be under the Sid Buckwold Bridge (near the Meewasin trail counter) with some chain oil, a tire pump, and some hex keys to help smooth out your cycling experience with some simple tweaks. Stop by and say “hi” and let us do the rest!

Bridge City Bicycle Co-operative Drop-In (May 12, 13, 15)

The Bridge City Bicycle Co-operative is a member-driven, volunteer-run workshop space dedicated to providing everyone with access to a bicycle. They host women & queer nights, general bike repair hours, youth bike workshops, and diversion shifts where they partner with the City of Saskatoon to divert bicycles from the landfill and secure frames and parts for repurposing.

On three days during Winter BYXE Week, you’re invited to drop in and check out their space, see the work they do, and chat with their team to learn more about how they’re turning “trash” into treasure and getting people on bikes in the process.

You can visit them at 905 20th St W between 6:30PM and 8:30PM on

  • Tuesday, May 12
  • Wednesday, May 13
  • Friday, May 15

Scavenger Hunt (All Week)

You and your family/ friends/ team can enjoy exploring the city by bike with our week-long scavenger hunt.

How to play:

  • Download the scavenger hunt sheet here.
  • Get on your bike and check off as many items as you can.
  • With every successfully completed task, post a selfie (where applicable)
  • Be sure to comment on one of our BYXE posts (so we can find your photos for the prize draws) and we’ll count each one as an entry.
  • Send us a photo of your completed sheet.

Have fun! Remember, you don’t have to complete ALL the tasks to collect entries. Each task is an entry.

The Great Saskatoon Bike Passport Adventure (All Week)

This BYXE Week is proud to include The 4th Annual Great Saskatoon Bike Passport Adventure! You could win a $650 gift card from Outtabounds!!!

For the entire week, you can collect unique “bike part” stickers from a range of Saskatoon businesses and try to complete your own bicycle image. Every sticker is an entry in our Passport Adventure draw that will include a bunch of swag bags, and (did we mention?) one lucky entry will win the grand prize of $650 at Outtabounds!

Are you ready for the adventure? Start by picking up a passport card at any one of the Sticker Locations (or ANY Saskatoon public library location):

Apply the stickers you receive to their corresponding spot on your passport card and try to complete the bike image!

When you’ve collected all the stickers you can (and remember, BYXE Week is officially done on May 17!), fill in your contact information on the card and return it to one of these four (4) Bike Shop Locations no later than May 20:

Please note: No purchases required. Passport Cards can only be returned to Bike Shop Locations; other sticker locations will not collect cards. Have fun!

BYXE Week Social Media Contest (All Week)

It’s not all about the swag, but…

Riding a bike is a transportation choice that makes us and our community healthier, happier, and more accessible. If those reasons weren’t enough, cycling during BYXE Week can also make you… swaggier?

That’s right! We’ll be drawing for prizes at the end of the week, so participate as much as you can with social media posts (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter). Every selfie with your bike while doing any of our activities will earn you an entry for prizes. Just make sure that you email photos to byxe@saskatooncycles.org or comment on one of our BYXE posts so we can find your cool pics.

Saskatoon Transit’s Bike & Bus

If you’re commuting to work by bike, but the distance is too great to cycle the entire way, consider taking Saskatoon Transit’s Bike & Bus part of the way. Plan your trip using the Transit app and Google Transit. All buses are equipped with front bike racks that are free and easy to use. The bike racks also accommodate tires up to 2 inches wide.
