In spite of the weather, we had a great “Grand Re-Opening Ceremony” this past Saturday morning! Approximately 30 folks were present to see Mayor Gil Broconier cut the ceremonial gear cable to signify the re-opening. 

In addition to the Mayor, other special guests were Councilors Forrest Rowden, Deb McCarthy and Aaron Burchat.  The contributions of the Town Council and staff to make our new location a reality were highlighted and applauded!

We were also pleased to host retiring Director of Public Works, Barry Thrasher, whom we thanked for his many efforts over the years to support Cycle Transitions and the construction of cycling infrastructure in Cobourg.

A special thank you went out to the many CT members who assisted with moving in and setting up. It was gratifying for us to have such a large group make this a smooth transition. THANK YOU!! 

Now that we are open again, we invite you come in and see the great set-up we have. See you soon!

We’re pleased to announce that we’re ready to open our doors at 390 King St W in Cobourg on Saturday, April 14.  The facilities are set up quite nicely thanks to the assistance of many volunteers! It’s looking good!

The Grand Re-Opening ceremony will take place at 10 am.  We’ve invited some special guests including Mayor Gil Brocanier to help us celebrate. The ceremony will allow us say a few words of thanks to the many folks who have assisted us, to the Town especially.  Following that we’ll have tours of the facilities, and there’ll be baked goods and refreshments to be had while we chat.

Please plan to join us at the ceremony or in the next while; we’re excited to show off the new facilities and assist you with your bicycle maintenance. Our hours of operation will be Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 9pm and Saturday mornings from 9am to noon.

Cycle Transitions is excited about re-opening for business again on Saturday, April 14! It’s been seven and a half months since we closed the doors for the last time on D’Arcy St., a long time. Our new facilities at 390 King St W look great and will meet our needs very nicely.

Looking over our list of volunteer mechanics, we realize we’re going to need help! Some of our mechanics have moved away, others have had other commitments needing attention. So we could use a few more.

Will you consider helping out? We’ll train you and always schedule you with a “senior” or mentor mechanic. If you have any mechanical inclination, you’ll learn in no time at all. And it’s not all work, there’s lots of socializing and discussing the issues of the day.

Our hours of operations are somewhat different this time around – we’ll be open Monday and Wednesday evenings, 6:30 to 9pm, as well as Saturday mornings.

If you’re interested in checking out this volunteering possibility, reply to cycletransitions@gmail.com . We’ll arrange for an introduction and discussion about what could work.
