Winnipeg Cycling Club

 

The 2nd annual Ciclovia will happen this year on September 12 in conjunction with “Lights on Broadway.” Last year was awesome and this year it is sure to be an even bigger and better event. Ride your bike along Wellington Crescent and Wolseley directly to Broadway where the event will take place without having to ride in traffic.

This is thanks to road/lane closures over the Maryland bridge, Wolseley, Furby, Westminister, Young, Balmoral, and even Broadway (between Balmoral and Osbourne). See the map at: http://www.downtownwinnipegbiz.com/images/File/2009_Ciclovia_Route-Map_081909b.jpg

 

This event is all about celebrating healthy living and active transportation, so come on out and enjoy. There is something for everyone including:

-      Live music

-      Street cafe and food area

-      Farmer’s Market

-      Kid’s zone

-      Games

-      Displays and activities

-      Street and food vendors
