Visit Us at the Toronto International Bicycle Show 2009
In February people spotted ground hogs in fun to speculate on how long winter is really going to wait before giving way to warm weather. The much more reliable method is to keep count of the number of cyclists poking their heads out of the garages and (fearlessly) gliding onto the Mississauga passageways. We’re starting to see, little by little, more cyclists out on the Mississauga roads this month. The next harbinger of Spring is the Toronto International Bicycle Show – and the Cycling Committee will be there. March 13 – 15, 2009.
This year, the Mississauga Cycling Committee will be hosting a booth at the show. We will be located in the most fun zone. Booth # 806 by the grandstands. Stop by on your way back to the BMX Jam, the Toronto X-Track, or otherwise to the – ahem – washrooms.
We want to be face to face with the cycling enthusiasts of the GTA. This is becoming the year of the bike in Mississauga and we want to hear what’s on your mind with all that’s going on:
- Mississauga Transit is moving to install bike racks on the buses
- Downtown 21 is presenting a cycling & walking dreamscape for the City Centre
- The Mississauga Cycling Master Plan to bring their work to the public by June (editor’s note: June 2010)
- Tour de Mississauga 2009 is looking to celebrate Car Free Day in September with the possibility of a special road closure for bicycles and pedestrians.
- Bike to Work days will kickoff in May with a free pancake breakfast at City Hall.
- Further connectivity is being constructed in our growing trail system, and a host of other grassroot initiatives are taking form from Malton to the beautiful south in Port Credit.
If none of that is reason enough for you to drop by, we will also be handing out the infamous Mississauga Bicycle Trail Map in its full glossy format. There are limited supply of the new 2009 Edition. So come by early to chat and sign up for our events and get your name on the Mississauga cycling contact list. Don’t worry, we also have the other map edition available if our supply of the 2009 Edition runs out.
