Heart & Stroke Big Bike returns to Greater Sudbury for another year May 14-18.
What exactly is Big Bike? Here's a description provided by the Heart & Stroke.
“It's a heart-pumping, cheer-thumping, crazy big, fun ride!” the description said.
“For 20 minutes, 29 riders power one Big Bike. On event day, one of our drivers will accompany you as you pedal through your community and celebrate your accomplishments.
“While you pedal, you literally stop traffic to support critical heart disease and stroke research, so you’ll feel good, while doing good. But be warned: The minute you stop, you’ll want to climb right back on. It’s that much fun!”
The Big Bike Race Night takes place at Delki Dozzi Cycle Park Wednesday, May 16. Three more teams are needed or organizers are worried they might have to cancel race night.
The event, which starts at 5 p.m., involves a pizza supper, a Zumba warm-up and a children's race on the track afterwards (kids need to bring their own bikes and helmets).
