Spring Cycling Skills Courses

Believe it or not, spring will eventually arrive!  If you or someone you know is thinking of making this the year to ditch the car and get out on the bicycle more often, you should check out the cycling skills courses that Bike to the Future is offering though the City of Winnipeg's Leisure Guide.  Even those who have been commuting for years can pick up some valuable advice.  Courses are being offered on May 4 (City Cycling for Beginners) and May 11th (City Cycling for Commuters).

Velo City Cycling Visionary Awards

With one click you can support two local groups towards winning the Velo City Cycling Visionary Awards.

As many of you know, Anders is leading a project creating an App with the Active and Safe Routes to School program called TapTraffic. The premise is simple: embrace the power of the smartphone and harness the power of regular people to count bikes and pedestrians everywhere. From the smallest residential street and backlane to the most important artery, we all want cycling infrastructure changes everywhere. This is a simple way of taking the first step wherever you are, tracking things as they progress and proving it works. This project is in for the science, research, and development category of the awards. 

Please vote for TapTraffic here: http://velo-city2013.com/?page_id=2337&preview=true&project_id=271 

Also local group the UWSA Ice-riders also have a project in the running for the advocacy and social projects category of this award. The University of Winnipeg Students' Association's Ice Riders and their Bike Lab are gaining momentum in the creation of an active cycling culture year-round. The UWSA Bike Lab and Ice Riders are aptly positioned in location and in their capacity for education and advocacy in Winnipeg's core. They provide resources, events and education to help cyclists find their traction Winnipeg winters.
