BULLETIN BOARD

 
Construction of the Lantzville E&N trail has started...
Partially with the help of GNCC's advocacy, Lantzville received a grant of $400k from the Provincial "Towns for Tomorrow" program to be applied to the building of the portion of the E&N trail between Aulds and Ware Roads. Daryl's new bike
Photo: at the end of the third week in August the trail was underway. This photo is from Aulds Rd. looking "up island."
 
Stolen Bikes

Nanaimo and Bike Week

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!
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.
New Pictures Needed...
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.)
 
Membership rates.
Our very low membership fee is just $10.
Corporate memberships: $50.
Bike Tools
The board of the GNCC has decided that the bike maintenance/service stand and special tools should be available to GNCC members to borrow. Fill out the form on the contacts page to inquire.
Would you like bike racks on VI Greyhound buses?
If so, then consider signing this petition.

The Greater Nanaimo Cycling Coalition has a new lease on life?

It was hoped that a lower membership price will be one important measure to allow us to attract many more members. Still, a concerted effort is needed to recruit members. One particular group that we will be targeting are Vancouver Island University students. Any ideas? If so, please use the contact form to get our attention!

Our main purposes are to:

  • provide a unified voice for all cycling interests in the area;
  • advocate for cyclists to the local governments;
  • promote cycling-friendly roads and facilities;
  • encourage recreation, commuting and touring as reasons to ride.
