Hi folks: I am forwarding this message from Jason Carter at the Manitoba Cycling Association in case you are interested in participating. -cheers, Beth<br><span></span><div class="gmail_quote"><div style="MARGIN:4px 4px 1px;FONT:12pt Tahoma">

<div>CBC Information Radio has asked me to invite cyclists of all 
types (commuters, racers, couriers, occasional, recreational, advocates, 
etc.) to participate in live segments during their morning show 
on <b>Thursday, Sept 20th at Stella&#39;s Cafe, 116 Sherbrook 
St.</b></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Marcy Markusa will be there at 6:30 a.m. to do 
numerous interviews with cyclists (&quot;hits&quot;) throughout the show&#39;s time slot, 
ending around 8:30 a.m.  This is part of their week-long theme of cycling 
and active transportation as &quot;The Next Big Thing&quot;.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here is the show&#39;s concept as described by Marcy:</div>
<div> </div>
<blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT:0px" dir="ltr">
  <div>The plan is to be in the community at Stella&#39;s on Thursday morning 
  for a discussion specifically around downtown.  </div>
  <div> </div>
  <div>Cycling through downtown.  Into downtown, Portage Avenue etc.</div>
  <div> </div>
  <div><b>What&#39;s keeping us from getting there safely?</b></div>
  <div> </div>
  <div>We are booking (hopefully) someone politically connected and some 
  cyclists with different ideas for the best plans for moving forward.</div>
  <div> </div></blockquote>
<div dir="ltr">If you can, please come and join us.  This is an excellent 
opportunity for new voices to be heard about the good, bad and ugly subject 
of cycling in downtown Winnipeg.</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">If you come by bike, be prepared to lock it up somewhere 
along the street.   If you come by other means, please wear something 
that identifies you as a cyclist (e.g. jersey, or jacket from a &quot;kit&quot;).  
Also be prepared to purchase breakfast there - we are guests, after all, at 
Stella&#39;s.</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">Hope to see you there!</div>
