HOLY GUACAMOLE! ONCE IN A TRILLION YEARS!

Critical Mass on a LEAP YEAR DAY! When does this ever happen? NEVER. This is probably the first time in the past 7 billion thousand years that there's been a critical mass on a leap year day.

SO WE NEED TO MAKE IT SUPER SPECIAL!

Bring your bikes (or other form of alternative transportation) to City Hall this upcoming Friday (february 29th) (leap year day) (tomorrow)for a fun-filled frolic through the veins (streets) of our city. We'll meet at 630, and probably start the run shortly after.

Hope to see you there!

Ladies Night at Bike Centre!

Heya folks!

This is just a reminder that Ladies Night at the Bike Centre is happening again this month, except on a different day. It's been changed to the second last Wednsday of every month, and will be occurring this upcoming Wednsday, February 20th.
What is Ladies Night? It's an evening (between 6 and 10 pm, drop in anytime) where women and women-identified can get together to fix their bikes. It's unfacilitated; we combine our knowledge and efforts to figure out any problems our bikes may have. It's a lot of fun, and a good way to figure out how to fix your bike (or teach others how to fix theirs) in an open and nonjudgemental environment.

Don't worry about bringing a bike! If you want to drop by and learn, there's plenty of bikes in various states of disrepair that can be practiced on.

The Bike Centre is located at the Corner of Gordon St. and South Ring Rd., below the Food Bank.

Hope to see you there!

January Critical Mass

January Critical Mass will be occurring this upcoming Friday, Jan. 25th. Meet at the corner of Carden and Wyndham (city hall) at 6:30 pm on your bike or other form of alternative transportation. There is no set theme, but if you get dressed up, people will probably think you are super duper cool. And since its so gosh-darned cold out there, hot chocolate may be present before we start riding.

Dress warm!

This is a kids-friendly event.

CRITICAL MASS STILL ALIVE AND KICKING! November 30th!

HEYA FOLKS!

Let's remind cars (and onlookers) that bikes aren't just for playing with, PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE THEM TO COMMUTE IN WINTER!

Critical Mass will occur this upcoming Friday, Nov. 30th, and it's roadkill/lights themed. So get dressed up as a piece of roadkill with lights on. And even though it's dark by 6:30, because lots of people work until 6ish, Critical Mass will continue to occur at 6:30 throughout the winter.

ALSO: BRING A MIX TAPE! Mix tapes will be exchanged...it'll be loads of fun.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
