Banff residents can now apply for a rebate on the purchase of studded bike tires.
To normalize the practice of riding on snow and ice, town council approved the rebate to encourage Banffites to ride year-round. The Town of Banff will provide rebates of $50 per tire to a maximum of two tires or $100 per person.
The post-purchase rebate program is established ahead of the
Winter Cycling Congress, which will be held in Calgary in 2019. Town of Banff representatives will be speaking at the international congress, and will host a study tour day in Banff for 40 delegates in February.
