As spring slowly moves towards summer, more social local cycling events are being held. Here are a few flyers people sent me:
June 1: World Bicycle Day
I don’t really keep track of World Bicycle Day, as every day is a world bicycle day for me, but the NCC and several embassies got together and organised a ride to Vincent Massey Park. Details in the poster:
Also on June 1: Vanier
I visited the event many years ago, and it is still going strong. A joy to see the little ones on bikes:
June: Let’s Bike Ottawa
On Saturday June 1, you can start counting your kilometers for a whole month for Let’s Bike Ottawa, formerly known as Bike to Work month. If you want to be part of team but you don’t have one, for the first time I set up a team (consisting of myself currently š¤):

Last year, over 5000 participants in 294 teams logged 282.500 KM (Remember, “nobody bikes in Ottawa, this is a winter city“).
June 9: Cargo bikes and Motherload, the movie
If you like to see what cargo bikes are all about and you feel like a movie, then June 9 is your chance to tick this off your list. It is not even that long ago that I knew all three cargo bike owners in Ottawa.
And of course, there is Open Doors Ottawa this weekend too. Enjoy the weekend!
