Cobourg Bike Week’s “Friendship Ride” is happening Thursday evening (June 5) so Cycle Transitions will be closed.  We encourage everyone to join us as cyclists from each community ride from their respective communities to meet at Burnham Family Farm.  Check out the Cobourg Bike Week website for more information.

 

Cycle Transitions will be conducting bicycle safety inspections at Cobourg’s Bike Week event, Bike for the Planet, this Sunday. Anyone can bring their bicycle to our booth where we will inspect it and provide a report on its condition.

Also, our mechanics will provide demonstrations of how to repair common breakdowns bicycles have; flat tires, worn or malfunctioning brakes, dirty or rusty chains, broken cables.

We’ll be selling CT ball caps and taking orders of CT t-shirts.

Stop by and say hello!  Bike for the Planet runs from 9 a.m. to noon this Sunday, June 1. For more information on Cobourg’s Bike Week visit the website.
