Looking for a bike related activity for this cold Saturday? You could try the Coldest Day of the Year Ride, starting at the Grenadier Cafe in High Park at noon. Or you could go to the Live Auction of 5 of the legendary yellow BikeShare bikes starting at 3pm at the Community Bicycle Network at Queen and Euclid.
The info is posted below:
CBN Open House and Auction
The Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation (TCAT), The Clean Air Partnership & The Community Bicycle Network are proud to present:
In the Globe and Mail article, Bicycles made for vous, Susan Sachs illuminates the new bikesharing program in Paris (earlier reported on by Darren). She does a reasonable job recounting the various bike sharing projects in Europe and North America, including Toronto's Bikeshare program which was run by the Community Bicycle Network for 5 successful years:
Last Thursday Community Bicycle Network supporters got together to discuss the future of the Network. CBN has been around since 1993 as a hub of various projects, ranging from working with youth on getting bike mechanics skills to bicycle recycling clubs to Bikeshare, a renowned bicycle lending program.
Tonight's the night to come and unleash all of your awesome ideas for Toronto's Community Bicycle Network (not to mention getting to meet Large Marge, iBikeTO blogger extraordinaire). What will happen to the 150 yellow bikes that are currently collecting cobwebs in storage? What kind of programming could/should be planned for the upcoming months and years? It's up to you to decide!
CBN will also be accepting nomination for its Advisory Board.
While I still have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth over the whole Bikeshare funding debacle last year, I intend to wash it away with juice, cookies and productive conversation at the CBN Townhall. I can't wait to hear what ideas might be in store for this dynamic organization!
