BULLETIN BOARD

 
New Host!
As of the 23rd of May we are operating under a new server. Several things were not working initially: the Contacts page (has now been fixed in a quick and dirty manner); the Spokelore page (still needs the data base to be built); and all email addresses except webmaster@... are known to not work (but the contact page sends to board member's personal addresses so that is ok). There may be other things broken: if you find anything that seems to be down, let me know at that webmaster address, either directly or via the contacts form. Thanks!
 
Take a look...
New SpokeLore...
The latest issue of SpokeLore (v15i1) is available as a PDF . There are several links in the issue in the issue that are best listed here:
 
CMHA “Ride don't Hide” Charity ride
Take a look at the route:
A Very Bad Idea!
Spotted on a ride: a young rider wearing full “cammo.” I suppose the logic is: if a driver can't see you he can't hit you?
Membership rates.
Our very low membership fee is just $10.
Corporate memberships: $50.
 
SpokeLore issue access
A change has been made to the site so that back issues of Spokelore are more readily available. Click here to see what issues are on the site. More back issues will be added as time permits, as well a search function is in the works.
Bike Parking Brochure
Go to this link to find a printable (PDF) file which can be filled out by any cyclist (or want-to-be-cyclist) and left with a store or mall's management to encourage improvement and/or installation of bike parking facilities.
Bike Week Nanaimo

Nanaimo has been celebrating Bike Week since 1997. See our history page for a summary.

 
City Bike brochure & map
The GNCC has been working with the city for some time now to produce a useful cycling map. Look here in the city's site for the brochure as a PDF.
Do You have Bike Sense?
Go to http://www.bikesense.bc.ca to view or download the Bike Sense Manual (in PDF form). It is a good review of how to ride on the roads. If you prefer a physical copy, we have lots of copies…if you want one, come out to a meeting!
Pictures Wanted...
If you have any photos that have “anything” to do with cycling in Nanaimo, and that won't look just too darn small when their width is reduced to 250 pixels, please send them in! Full credit and a small description is displayed along with the photo (see below, right.)
