Participation in this annual weeklong event has grown each year, from approximately 750 in 2002 to approximately 1,745 in 2005.

maximum of two bikes per bus).

Bike, Walk, Wheel Week is an opportunity to build physical activity into daily routines and to identify safety issues that need to be addressed to make Columbia a walkable, bikeable, wheelchair-friendly city.
