Cycle Transitions will be at Canadian Tire on Saturday morning July 4th during its big cycling sale. We’ll have a table set up to distribute flyers, answer questions about our operations, sell memberships, t-shirts and ball caps, and to raise awareness of the benefits of safe cycling.

As well, Canadian Tire is donating to Cycle Transitions serviceable bicycles  that are being “traded in” by customers for a new bicycle ($25 value). These bicycles will be used for our various programs in the community. Cycle Transitions thanks Canadian Tire for this generous donation!

Cycle Transitions will not be open Tuesday, June 30, Thursday, July 2, or Saturday, July4. Have a happy holiday!

Jill Mills, wife of Paul Mills, passed away on June 2nd. We are saddened by her loss. Jill supported Cycle Transitions since its inception, first as an idea of a few individuals, through the hard work starting the organization, and lately with the donation of a tandem bicycle. Jill provided background support for her husband, Paul, one of the initiators of CT and presently our co-ordinator of the Can-Bike safe cycling programs we run.

We extend our condolences to Paul Mills and his family. Visitation will take place at MacCoubrey Funeral Home, 30 King Street East, Cobourg, ON, on Saturday, June 6 from 3:00–5:00 p.m. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, June 7 at 1:00 p.m. in the MacCoubrey Funeral Home chapel. Those who wish to make a donation in her name, please do so to Cycle Transitions, mailing address: 452A King St. E., Cobourg ON, K9A 1M6.

Northumberland Hills Cycling Club will be making bicycle parking available for those cycling to the service.

Cycle Transitions’ Can-Bike instructors are holding safe cycling clinics in two schools this spring – Northumberland Christian School, and Merwyn Greer Public School. We’re teaching proper bike and helmet fit, straight line riding, braking, signaling as well as rules of the road and safe road riding practices.
