[Hello folks, these proved surprisingly popular last year. This is a chance for individuals, bike shops, design firms, etc to hold a meeting, do a presentation and engage the public. Share your knowledge, ideas and expertise. See the info from Stephanie below. - Anders]

*Ciclovia*

Sunday, September 7, 2014, 11:00am - 6:00pm

In its sixth year, the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ, in conjunction with many stakeholders and sponsors, will put on this FREE eco-friendly, healthy-lifestyles festival and active transportation initiative that will see both north and south sides of Broadway closed from Osborne to Edmonton St (and a car-free curb lane extending from Edmonton St Main St). Some of the many activities include a Bike Zone, Farmers’ Market, Kids’ Zone, Food Truck Wars, Wine & Beer Festival, Live Music, Fitness Stage and Soap Box Derby. This festival area is a highlight in what will be a network of car-free streets from Assiniboine Park all the way to The Forks on Sunday, September 7! For more information, please visit Manyfest.ca.

*Please also let me know if you are interested (or can pass on some names of folks who may be) in doing a cycling related** seminar at Ciclovia this year*. We are looking for 15-20min long seminars, that will take place casually in a little living room on the grassed Broadway median by Edmonton St (comfy chairs, coffee and discussion). Please let me if you are willing and what times might be best for you (between noon-6pm)!

Thanks,
