Where to now?

We have seen many new cyclists on the trails and roads this spring. We were planning a group ride for bike month (was June). We hope that in September we can once again find a way to ride safely as a group. (Funny how the notion of riding safely has a whole new meaning.)

Meanwhile enjoy the summer and ride well. Please remember that when you are on the trail that one should ring a bell, say loudly: ‘on your left’ as you pass. Pedestrians and their pets can be startled by a high speed bike flashing by and may act erratically in surprise causing an accident. Remember how it feels to have a dump truck flash past you at close quarters and be kind to the pedestrians you meet.

Ward 13 Candidate Bike Ride

ward13 rideOn September 20th, a group of intrepid cyclists took a 30 minute tour of Dundas to see some of our cycling infrastructure and to look at some of the challenges.

We were pleased to see 3 council candidates and 4 trustee candidates managed to attend and then share some of their thoughts about cycling in Dundas with the group and also listen to our hopes for safer cycling for us and for our children.

Please let us know if you would like to help us formulate our vision and work towards the combined goals of Vision Zero and Friendly Streets for the health of our community.
