I’m glad I pulled the kids to the first breakfast. They made themselves useful by handing out Bike Month handlebar fliers. Ah! another generation of positive propaganda pushers!
My favourite part of the kick-off to Bike Month breakfast – other than the fair trade, organic coffee, funky tunes and being by so many bikes – was meeting some astonished out-of-towners. I think they might have been from Holland. They had arrived three days ago and were on borrowed bikes. The bikes were a bit weary so they were thrilled that the mechanics fixed them up – for free! They’ll be here another 3 months so I equiped them with the Edmonton Bike Map, and information about how to use the racks on buses to get clear across the city. If you’re checking this blog – I hope to see you at more cycling events!
