Dear Bike to the Future members and supporters:
After a lengthy series of discussions and a recommendation from a re branding expert, Bike to the Future's Board of Directors has decided to change the public name of our organization to Bike Winnipeg and change our domain name to bikewinnipeg.ca. We will also be changing our logo.
In making this change, we are following in the footsteps of many other cycling advocacy organizations such as Bike Calgary, Bike Minneapolis, and Bike New York.
It is our hope that bikewinnipeg.ca will be easier to remember for members of the public, the media, government officials, and our current and new supporters. We also hope that the name Bike Winnipeg more clearly and simply defines who we are and our central mission , which is to encourage more Winnipeggers to choose to bike more often, to bring impediments to cycli ng to the attention of elected and government officials, and to inform the public and media about the various benefits of cycling. ____________
