The longer days and warmer weather entice us to spend more time outdoors. This month, you’ll find me tuning up my bicycle and gearing up to ride.
June is Bike Month, and there are excellent opportunities to celebrate across Greater Sudbury, whether you’re an avid cyclist or preparing for your first time on two wheels. If you are seeking a new itinerary, Rainbow Routes Association has maps and guides of their extensive network of urban and wilderness trails that crisscross our city.
Bike Sudbury will be leading community rides every Thursday evening for the rest of the summer – including one I’ll be joining on June 8.
This year’s Bike Exchange will be hosted on June 18 in the Tom Davies Square courtyard. The event provides residents with a chance to trade in or receive a gently used bike, helping to make cycling more accessible for all families.
As more Sudbury residents commute to work and school on their bikes this season, I encourage all motorists to watch for increased cyclist traffic and to patiently share the road. And, of course, when you hop on your bike, please do so safely. Always wear a helmet, observe all traffic laws, and equip your bike with a light, a bell and reflective tape.
See you out on the trails!
Mayor Paul Lefebvre
