The stations are scheduled throughout the week at multiple locations with a barbeque planned for Friday afternoon. Jordan Glowicki, events manager for Capital Bike, which runs GoByBike Week said the event is meant to encourage drivers to take advantage of all the benefits cycling has to offer. "There’s a huge sense of community in the bike community here," Glowicki said. "It’s amazing for the environment, frees up parking and traffic congestion and it’s amazing for your mental and physical health."
