Cycle Transitions reverts to Off-Season Hours
As of September, Cycle Transitions reverts back to “off-season” hours. Our operating hours during the off-season are Tuesday evening, 6:30 to 9 pm. and Saturday morning, 9 am to noon. Next April to August we’ll be open Thursday evenings as well.
Cycle Transitions encourages participation in Bike Up Northumberland!
Bike Up Northumberland!
Bike Up Northumberland! is a charity ride in support of our hospitals in Northumberland County. This is a joint-event benefiting Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation and Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation. Funds raised will be equally distributed to both Foundations to support the purchase of priority medical equipment. This spirit of collaboration between the Foundations is a first of its kind for their organizations as they work together to advance their mission, which is to raise funds to purchase priority medical equipment for their hospitals.
The cycling route follows the scenic Waterfront Trail from Cobourg to Presqu’ile Park in Brighton. The ride is designed for riders of all ages and abilities. With varying return distances – 5km, 10km, 25km, 50km and 100km – everyone can take advantage of this experience while raising funds to support our hospitals and benefiting from a healthy, active lifestyle.
Registration is now open! Click here to join Bike Up Northumberland!
Cycle Transitions will be assisting at the event with mechanical and “sweeping” support.
The Loft to screen “Bikes vs Cars” in August
Ken Prue will be showing the highly acclaimed movie, “Bikes vs Cars” on Friday, August 13, 15, 19, 21, and 23 (time to be announced) at The Loft on Division St.
“The bicycle, an amazing tool for change. Activists and cities all over the world are moving towards a new system. But will the economic powers allow it? Bikes vs Cars, a new film project from BANANAS!* and Big Boys Gone Bananas!* director Fredrik Gertten, looks into and investigates the daily global drama in traffic around the world.” (http://www.bikes-vs-cars.com/thefilm)
