This summer Retire Your Ride traveled around the province, meeting many great people who entered to win our Rocky Mountain Metropolis bicycle. Yesterday, we got to give away that bicycle to Susan.
Check out her reaction! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxb8ab1gwWI
Coming from a one car household, Susan was very excited to have won the freedom a high end commuter bicycle allows! Her enthusiasm was contagious in fact, and has inspired us to give Saskatchewan another opportunity to win a bicycle courtesy of Retire Your Ride. Find out how you could be next at ryrsask.com or find us on Facebook Retire Your Ride Sk.
Retire Your Ride Bicycle Show and Shine
Thanks to everyone who came out for the Bicycle Show and Shine! We had 31 entrants bring down over 40 bicycles for the show – from low riders to antique European imports to fresh Saskatoon designs!
Thanks to Alexa Hainsworth of the Saskatoon Farmer’s Market for judging Best of Show. Best of Show went to Kal Dietz with his customized low rider. Thanks to Barrett Russell for the custom painted helmet that everyone who registered was entered to win. The random draw saw Lauretta Lefol take home the helmet, so keep a look out for her cycling around the city! Her husband Eric came in to speak with us about bicycle culture in Saskatoon, check it out at: Helmet Talk
Bicycle Show and Shine was the last event on the Retire Your Ride Summer Roadtrip and we gave away our $850 Rocky Mountain Metropolis that people from all over the province had been entering to win. With over 1000 entries, Susan was randomly drawn as the winner so congrats to her on her new bicycle! Retire Your Ride – Canada’s Vehicle Recycling Program will be offering alternative transportation rewards in exchange for old clunkers until March 31 2011, including another Rocky Mountain bicycle give away contest later this fall so keep in touch with us on Facebook at Retire Your Ride SK for more bicycle and alternative transportation love!

Time: 7 PM
Location: J.S. Wood Library, 1801 Lansdowne Ave., Saskatoon
A Net Zero Home is defined as a home that generates as much energy as it uses on an annual basis. Many tried and proven technologies are available to reduce energy consumption and related greenhouse gases emissions from residential homes. Each of the technologies has a different cost and related benefits. Choosing the right technologies takes a careful analysis of the options.
Ronn Lepage is pioneering what may be Saskatchewan's first truly Net Zero Home. This presentation will discuss the many alternatives available and how they were selected for this home. This presentation should be attended by anyone interested in building a green home.
