Big Bike is a corporate team building event involving one giant 29-seat bicycle that we ride at 30 locations in the Toronto area. Your office/team's participation can help to raise awareness as well as funds for our mission of preventing heart disease and stroke in our community. Please share this with your colleagues, friends and team members if you or a team would be able to lead this team building event within your organization.

Big Bike Facts · We created Big Bike because every 7 minutes someone in Canada dies from heart disease and stroke, and Heart & Stroke needs your help to save lives and promote recovery.

· In the 2016 Big Bike season we fundraised over $819,000 in Toronto, with almost 200 teams riding big bike.

· There is no cost to register a team. Anyone can ride on a team of up to 29 riders.

· Fundraising is easy with our pledge forms and online tools and on our brand new website at bigbike.ca and you can also use our social media links to help you network and surpass team fundraising goals.

· Our Heart and Stroke team personally supports your Captains every step of the way. Recruiting templates and emails are sent internally with a link to join the team online.

· Our welcoming host sites offer a Team Photo of your ride experience to be shared with your company, and a competitive 2.5-3 KM road route guided by the Toronto Police Services.

· Big Bike prizes Compete against other companies and organizations in your industry for top fundraising honours, to win fundraising prizes and recognition!
