It’s Bike Week!

Let’s ride our bikes together for a sustainable future during the sixth KAUST Bike Week. From December 4 to 9, 2022, keeping in mind the impacts of climate change, why not try to leave your car at home and bike for a greener tomorrow?

Road transportation, such as cars, motorcycles and buses, accounts for 11.9% of global greenhouse gas emissions (Source: ourworldindata.org).

Biking is a green, fun and healthy mode of transportation. So, pump some air into those tires and get ready for a week full of activities that we hope will inspire you to cycle more within KAUST year-round.

Highlights of the week

  • The yearly Bike Race and Family Bike Ride will be on Friday, December 9.
  • Join the daily yoga classes for bikers from December 5 – 8 at IRC.
  • Go on the scavenger hunt by bike and win a special dinner at Al Marsa.

Thank you for this great intiative.
It’d have been nice if you arrange for bike rentals. I don’t have a bike, but I’d like to try using it, yet not sure about buying a bike yet.

Or, maybe arrange with the e-bikes company to do a special during this week. this would be great.

Registration is not required for the Family Bike Ride. But to participate in the Road race, you need to register.
