Great news! The Town of Cobourg has agreed to lease space in the old Public Works building (390 King St W) to Cycle Transitions. The building is a 7000 square foot refurbished storage/work garage of which CT will make use of approximately 2000 square feet. We hope to move in mid-March with a re-opening to take place the first week in April.

As more details are worked out and we are able to set dates, we’ll provide you with more information including a call for volunteers to assist with moving in and setting up. We’re looking at two Saturday mornings, one for clearing space and installing partition fencing, the other for unloading the storage semi-trailer and setting up the shop.

A reminder that all memberships will resume with the re-opening.

We express our gratitude to Cobourg Council and staff for assisting and supporting us. They really stepped up and made things possible!

There will be a proposal made to Cobourg Town Council on Monday, February 26 (the meeting begins at 4 pm in Council chambers at Victoria Hall) which outlines provisions for leasing Cycle Transitions approximately 2,000 square feet of space in the old Public Works building on King St west. Barry Thrasher, Director of Public Works will be making the proposal. The details have come about after many consultations with Mayor Gil Brocanier, Deputy Mayor John Henderson, Chief Administrative Officer Stephen Peacock and other town staff – all of whom have been extremely supportive and helpful!

Please come out to the meeting so that we can show Council strong support for the proposal (wear your CT shirt if you have one).

If Council approves the proposal, we at Cycle Transitions expect to re-open at the beginning of April just in time for the cycling season!!

Details: Council meeting on Monday, February 26, 4pm in Council chambers, Victoria Hall
