Do you have an old bicycle, unicycle, skateboard or another wheeled transportation device that you aren’t using anymore? If so, the BCGA is accepting bike donations from members. These bikes will be accepted by the BCGA and distributed to some rural airfields to allow visiting pilots to have a mode of transportation to explore the local area and patronize local businesses. This type of program has made Texada Island a popular destination for pilots as the bikes allow pilots to ride into town for a coffee or just to explore the local area.
If you have a bike that you could donate please contact us and we will arrange a location for you to drop it off. Luckily we have some avid mountain biking members that may be able to assist in doing some minor tune-ups to prepare the two wheeled steeds for the field. (David and Warwick, Eric…. cough cough)
We sincerely hope that by offering to facilitate the strategic placement of bikes at some airports that we can motivate pilots to stretch their wings and visit some new locations.
