Twenty-one pairs of cyclists and motorists raced from Langford, Esquimalt, Oak Bay and Saanich to the legislature, with cyclists winning in 18 competitions.

In a race to the legislature by vehicle and bike from communities across the capital region Wednesday morning, there was one clear winner: cyclists
