Climate Matters
Cycling can knock a serious chunk off your annual personal carbon emissions. Someone who chooses to hop on their bike rather than into their car will avert about 0.5 kg of GHG for every 2 km travelled!
Ottawa Matters
Ottawa is a winter city, and a winter city with 45% of local emissions coming from transportation! Encouraging active and sustainable modes of transportation year round just makes sense. With an ever-growing network of winter maintained cycling infrastructure and an understanding that there are plenty of beautiful days with dry, comfortable bike routes, you can truly bike in any season!
About this workshop
Join life long year-round cyclist Jen Stelzer as she shares some practical and simple things you can do to feel comfortable and confident cycling at any time of year. Why not get out there are little earlier this year? Let's put an end to that "winter-warrior" myth and meet a regular non-superhero, all-season cyclist!
This workshop will feature route planning strategies, helpful tips for facing ice, snow or any challenging situation, and simple suggestions for winter bike maintenance. The goal of this workshop is to help riders discover the joy of biking at any time of year, and we encourage you to bring your own questions too!
