Bike to Movie Night

The Environmental & Sustainability Studies leadership committee presents Bike to Movie Night, featuring the movie “Jumbo Wild” on Sept. 13 from 7-10 p.m. at The Pioneer Garden (located east of the Pioneer Theatre on campus). “Jumbo Wild” is a movie about the battle between protecting British Columbia’s wilderness and the backcountry experience in the Jumbo Valley. Come hang out with other bikers and enjoy light refreshments and a free bike valet. Light bike repairs will be provided by U Bike Shop mechanics (just in case) so you and your wheels are good to go after the show. Guests are welcome to bring a blanket and a small chair for comfort to enjoy the movie.
