Mississauga is putting together its new Bike Plan. I would encourage all Mississauga cyclists, and also any cyclists who travel to -- or through -- Mississauga, to find out more by visiting the site, filling in the survey and also attending one of these public meetings:

  • Date: Tuesday, May 27
    Time: 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
    Location: Mississauga Civic Centre Great Hall, 300 City Centre Dr.
  • Date: Thursday, May 29
    Time: 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
    Location: Malton Community Centre Multi Purpose Room #1, 3540 Morning Star Dr.
  • Date: Saturday, May 31
    Time: 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
    Location: Cawthra Community Centre & Arena Petrescue Hall, 1399 Cawthra Rd.

There's a flyer about these meetings as well.

I would also like to encourage Mississauga to make a deputation at a Toronto Cycling Advisory Committee meeting to tell Toronto's Cyclists more about their proposals, and to coordinate connections between our bikeway network and theirs.

It's too bad that these meetings are happening right at the launch of our own Bike Month. So much other worthwhile cycling stuff is going on here, it's going to be tough for me to get out there to find out more about what Mississauga is doing!

Over the last two weeks I have made a couple of trips to the Niagara Region taking photos for the fine folks at biketrain.ca

So, I made this little video to remind myself how lovely the Niagara Region is any time, with spring especially so. The First trip for the Bike Train this year will be June 27.

Could not be soon enough, I'd say.

The Sun has a couple of articles on bikes. The first one is worth reading.
As for Sue-Ann Levy, I think she'll soon announce her opposition to summer and chocolate cake when Miller says something good about them.

The May 8th edition of the Toronto Sun reports and comments on matters velo. Pending approval by Council, there will be bike lanes on Wellesley St. and Vaughan Ave; the efforts of Hamish et al do not go unnoticed by Sun reporter Sarah Green:

Columnist Sue Ann Levy disparages these same efforts in a column critical of Mayor David Miller. To be stained by bile directed at His Blondeness -- the horror!
