Tuesday is World Bicycle Day! It’s also day one of the Vélo Canada Bikes annual pedal poll
There’s still time to claim your volunteer count shift to help collect crucial cycling data.
The poll runs all across Canada. We're focussed on Waterloo Region, but there's a good chance it's happening where you live.
We need more safe places to ride and this is how we prove it. Sign up for a shift & join the movement!

ICYMI: My latest radio column about Jacob Wilkinson and his Kitchener-based hot sauce company, Blowing Smoke is up!
You can listen here : https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-104-the-morning-edition-k-w/clip/16145299-how-local-hot-sauce-maker-creates-fiery-recipes
When a chef I trust pulled me aside to tell me about someone who's fighting the odds to start a hot sauce company, I took notice. Jacob Wilkinson, who is visually impaired, turned a pandemic project into Blowing Smoke, featuring Ontario-grown produce with fantastic names like Devil’s Night and Yellow Snow.
Am so honoured he let me tell his story.
