Charlie's FreeWheels

Happy New Year to our cycling community! This year we are aiming to host monthly online events - either webinars, skillshares, or more low-key social activities. These events will be hosting through our Zoom account, and will usually run on a Thursday evening near the end of each month. Stay tuned for details about what we have planned for the first few months of 2021, and let us know if there is something you'd be interested in seeing us cover or an event you think would be fun for us to host!

Looking for some fun online bicycle content? The second instalment of the *Online* Bicycle Film Festival or Ottawa starts streaming tonight! Click the event below for more details :)

We just got a message from a former student about their bike being stolen, and then this piece came up on Facebook. Please take every precaution you can when locking your bicycle outside. Bike theft is an unfortunate reality in a city like Toronto. These racks are installed around the Regent Park redevelopment and are not a good place to leave your bike for any length of time. What do you think? Are these bike racks well-designed? Has the security issue been adequately addressed?

Many thanks to all our generous sponsors and donors who supported our first online silent auction. You helped us to raise over $2,900. This will go a long way towards supporting our work over the coming months. A big THANK YOU to you all!
