Bike path

It’s a great time of year to cycle.

The Gearing Up Family Cycling Club presented by Discovery Routes begins its season this weekend.

It’s a 13 week series and it begins Saturday morning at 10 am with a bike rodeo at parking lot #9 AT Nipissing University/Canadore College.

The event will include bike safety skills training, tips on maintenance and prizes courtesy of Cheapskates, Gateway Home Hardware, Lefebvre’s Source for Adventure and Cycleworks.

You can register for the rodeo on line at discoveryroutes.ca/gearingup.

Children must be accompanied by an adult to ensure they have a bike, a helmet, a bell and good brakes.

The rides will alternate during the summer at 10 am on Saturday and at 6 pm on Wednesdays.
