Waterloo Region relies on this federal funding to expand its cycling network. Tell your MP that this is important to you!

From Vélo Canada Bikes:
"Bike infrastructure is a low cost, high impact solution for housing & health. But $500M in federal funding is now at risk. If approvals aren't issued now, we lose the 2026 construction season. TAKE ACTION: Email your MP by March 13!”

Here's a great video from Tom Babin ( @shifter ) and Dave Shellnut (The Biking Lawyer) on e-bikes. Plenty to think about!

Cycling in winter in Waterloo Region!

“As with any winter sport, dressing for winter cycling is specific to each individual. Li said she wears a ski jacket and pants and brings a change of clothes for her workplace. Keeping dry is not only restricted to her clothing. Commuting to work means bringing her laptop, which she transports in a water-proof backpack.”
– Alex Kinsella
