Bike Winnipeg: Bike for the Future
2023-06-11 11:00 - 13:00 | Winnipeg
A ride to demand climate justice for our children!

Join Bike Winnipeg on their second Bike for the Future ride , a family friendly ride through a variety of neighbourhoods and ending at the Bike Week Birthday Bash at the Legislature.

Muster Location: The Forks

End Location: The Bike Week Birthday Bash @ The Leg

Bike For the Future:

We are a group of concerned citizens advocating for safe spaces for our friends and families to actively commute. Walking and cycling are the two most environmentally friendly modes of transportation and need to play a key role in our greenhouse gas reductions. Transportation makes up 50% of Winnipeg’s emissions (https://winnipeg.ca/sustainability/ClimateChange.stm).

We are in the midst of a climate emergency. Extreme weather events are happening more frequently. Locally we have been suffering through drought which has had an extremely negative impact on farmers and will inevitably raise the cost of putting food on our tables. Air quality warnings became common place in the summer of 2021 as fires raged in northern Manitoba and Ontario. Every day when we turn on our radios and TV’s and hear and see how our global neighbors are suffering from a host of extreme weather events being amplified by anthropogenic climate change. We have had enough foot dragging by all levels of government. They have a responsibility to make walking and riding a bike the easiest way to get around within and between our urban neighborhoods.

In 2019, we proudly watched our youth take to the streets of downtown Winnipeg to demand action on Climate. Many of us marched in solidarity with them. We intend to continue their fight to push all levels of governments to speed up the move to low carbon transportation to help protect their future.

To encourage Winnipeggers to actively commute, they need a transportation system that allows them to safely, comfortably, and conveniently travel from point a to point b, they need access to safe bike storage, and they need affordable access to bicycles. Currently 60% of Winnipeggers feel unsafe walking and cycling. To make it safe and comfortable, motorized vehicles need to drive slowly on our residential roads (no more than 30 km/h). We need separated and protected spaces on routes with higher vehicle speeds and we need plenty of places to safely cross busy streets and rail lines in a reasonable amount of time.

1) We demand that the city start making investments on par with need and non-budget public policy in our cycling and walking strategy. Currently, the City of Winnipeg funds 2 million dollars’ worth of AT projects a year; the city should be spending at least 10 times this amount. It would be reasonable to expect that the cycling network will be completed within the next 10-20 years, not by 2100 at the current pace of budgeting.

2) The city and province need to work out how to lower the default speed limit to 30 km/h immediately. City engineers can set higher speeds on collector and arterial routes where appropriate.

3) The Winnipeg Police need to stop targeting people that ride their bikes on the sidewalks in areas where no safe alternative exists. The problem is not sidewalk riding, the problem is a lack of safe infrastructure for people actively commuting.

4) The city and province need to get a handle on bicycle theft. There is an epidemic of bike thefts which discourage people from actively commuting.

5) The city needs to look at solutions for areas that are difficult to cross. For example, when the Arlington bridge closes, the distance that someone living on the north side of those tracks needed to travel to get somewhere on the south side could increase significantly. It would be reasonable to expect the city and the railway company to produce a new crossing or tunnel. Rivers also pose a significant barrier to walking and cycling: the city needs to look at adding more pedestrian and cycling bridges to make cycling between neighborhoods more efficient.

2023-06-10 14:00 - 16:00 | Winnipeg
REGISTRATION CLOSES JUNE 8 AT 10 PM!

Grab a friend and your bike, let’s go get ice cream!

The Manitoba Cycling Association is pleased to host another year of Tour de Glace, the ice cream bike tour. Registration includes a guided group ride with 2- or 3-stop options to some excellent local ice cream shops for a treat. This event is open to all, you do not need to be a member of the Manitoba Cycling Association. Families and youth are welcome to join!

The ride begins in the green space in front of the Lyric Theatre at Assiniboine Park at 2:00 pm. Please arrive at 1:45 pm to check in and meet your ride leader. The ride will finish up at Assiniboine Park by 4:00 pm. Giveaways will be drawn at the end of the ride.

2023 Tour de Glace ice cream shops include:

Nucci’s Gelati (643 Corydon Ave)

Sargent Sundae (2053 Portage Ave)

Teeyah’s Candy, Soda and Ice Cream (#104-240 Graham Ave)

The 3-stop group will have an average pace of 15-20 km/hour over the course of about 21 km. Ice cream stops include Nucci’s Gelati, Sargent Sundae and Teeyah’s. Participants may choose any flavour at Nucci’s and Teeyah’s, and have the option between a Grabber or a Whatchamacallit from Sargent Sundae. The 3-stop ride is $12.00 plus tax + processing fees.

The 2-stop group will have an average pace of 10-15 km/hour over the course of about 16 km. The 2-stop group is open to all youth under 18 who are able to maintain the group average pace. Ice cream stops include Nucci’s and Sargent Sundae. Participants may choose any flavour at Nucci’s and will have the option between a Grabber or a Whatchamacallit from Sargent Sundae. The 2-stop ride is $8.00 plus tax + processing fees.

Participant discretion is advised: This tour is packed with dairy and possibly nut-containing calories. Unfortunately we cannot offer allergen-friendly alternatives. If you wish to participate without actually eating at each stop, or wish to register with a friend, there is a registration option for $0 tag-alongs (plus $3.50 non-member fee, if applicable). All riders must register for insurance purposes, however, if young children are in a bucket seat or carrier they are not required to register unless they want their own ice cream at each stop.

Please note that all riders who are not members of the Manitoba Cycling Association will be required to pay a $3.50 fee as part of registration. If you would prefer to become a member for the 2023 season, take a look at the MCA Membership Page and reach out to Twila if you have any questions. To be crystal clear: if you are participating as a $0 tag-along but you are not a member of the MCA, you will still need to pay the $3.50 insurance fee. If you have a child in a carrier, they do not need to pay the $3.50 fee. All “butts on bikes” need insurance coverage to participate.

There will be no refunds for this event. If weather is poor, you are welcome to drive to each stop to pick up your ice cream. Email CyclingForAll.MB@gmail.com for event inquires or to volunteer.

Bike Week Daily Digital Offering: Ride Like a Girl | Lee Craigie | TEDxGlasgow
2023-06-08 06:00 - 23:59 | Winnipeg
For Bike Week’s 10th Birthday we did a little digging around and got permission to share some awesome digital programming with you. Watch or listen along and get happy with us!

Watch HERE

With a career of elite level mountain bike racing behind her, Lee continues to test herself by riding longer and further than she ever has before. Only these days, she knows herself and her motivations for doing so much better. She tells the story of an epic multi-day, ultra-endurance mountain bike race through some of Scotland’s most wild and remote terrain. The Highland Trail 550 Race provides an interesting narrative to explore the ways people behave differently under stressful conditions and ultimately asks the question “is there a different way to succeed?”. Lee Craigie is 38 years old and lives in the Highlands of Scotland. She competed for 10 years as an elite level mountain bike racer, representing GB in the World Championships and Scotland in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Lee is also a trained child and adolescent psychotherapist, who uses outdoor adventurous activities therapeutically to help socially excluded young people feel better about themselves. In 2015, tired of the way the media and cycling industry portrays athletic women, Lee co-founded The Adventure Syndicate; a collective of women who do extraordinary things by bike and who aim to inspire, encourage and enable more women and girls to challenge themselves on what they think they might be capable of. Through The Adventure Syndicate, Lee now writes, delivers talks, makes films, runs training courses and, most importantly, continues to undertake her own ultra endurance self-supported bike adventures in an effort to remain curious, engaged and humble. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
