June is Ontario Bike Month, and this year mayor Brian Bigger proclaimed June as Bike Month in Greater Sudbury.
To help celebrate Bike Month locally, the Sudbury Cyclists Union is hosting a community bike ride with Mayor Brian Bigger on June 28.
Come on out, meet fellow residents who bike and explore some of the new cycling infrastructure that has been installed recently. Marisa Talarico, the City’s Active Transportation Coordinator will also be on the ride, and a few city councillors may take part as well.
Interested participants are asked to meet at the Elgin Street Farmer's Market location at 6:15 p.m. for registration, with the ride set to get underway at 6:30 p.m.
This ride will provide participants with tips on how to ride your bike safely on a variety of cycling infrastructure types and highlight how to navigate pedestrian crossovers, crosswalks, intersections, and more.
The ride will begin downtown; go through Bell Park to the South End and back. The ride will be between 1.5 to two hours long and is suitable for people with some cycling experience.
Helmets are encouraged for all and required for those under 18. Bring water and comfortable clothing, and make sure that your bike is road-worthy.
