Spring 2009 Bicycle Counts report
Jeremy Hull, Bike to the Future's research and statistics guru (and Provincial Policy Committee Director), has produced his 3rd annual spring bicycle counts report from bicycle count data that 34 of his volunteers have accumulated. The statistics and insight contained in this report are interesting, informative, and professional.

Bikefest
The inaugural Bikefest will be held on Sunday July 19th from 1:00 to 5:00 PM at Assiniboine Park. There will be representation from many different vendors in the city with bike buyers guides, technique instruction, repair clinics, free on-site repairs, and much more. Bikefest is a celebration of all things bikes, and best of all ... it's free!
