BULLETIN BOARD

 
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.
Bike For Your Life
The annual Parksville event is on Sunday the 12th of August this year. Let's have more Nanaimo riders there than Parksville cyclists!

  • advocate for cyclists to the local governments;
  • promote cycling-friendly roads and facilities;
  • encourage recreation, commuting and touring as reasons to ride.
