"Ca$hengers": What's fair?

When you’re starting up a carpool with co-workers or others, it can be tricky (or even awkward) figuring out how to split costs. Sound familiar? Try these online tools and apps to help determine a fair fare. If you already carpool, how did you decide on the amount?

Open Houses - April 12 & 15 


Plan to attend one of the upcoming Open Houses on walking and cycling in Winnipeg - this Saturday, April 12, or Tuesday, April 15. Come hear about the draft city-wide bicycle and pedestrian network as well as recommendations for new policies related to Active Transportation. Guaranteed to be way more interesting than it sounds!

Calling all wanna-cyclists
Looking to dust off your bike and try riding again? Maybe you're thinking about starting to cycle to work or school? Sign up for a hands-on-the-handlebars workshop with a CAN-BIKE certified instructor. Two courses are available through the Leisure Guide: City Cycling for Beginners on Saturday, May 3rd, and City Cycling for Commuters on Saturday, May 10th.
