The World’s Love Affair with The Bicycle Comes to The Forks: European and Canadian Experts Share in Public Forum

Public “We Ride Here” Symposium at The Forks, Friday November 23rd, 7 pm – 9 pm

The “We Ride Here” public symposium is an evening of culture, film, speeches, exciting announcements, refreshments, door prizes, and one lucky winner will get a grand-prize of a Dutch Van Gogh bike, courtesy of the
Honorary Consul of the Netherlands.

Winnipeg is fast becoming one of our country’s bike-friendly cities and that fever is spreading throughout the province to towns like Morden, Thompson and Portage la Prairie. But, what would it take for our province to rival places like Denmark and the Netherlands where it’s ingrained in the culture and the psyche of its people?  The “We Ride Here” symposium provides the answers.

International cycling and city design gurus from Copenhagenize (Denmark) and Mobycon (Netherlands) are in Winnipeg to deliver a SOLD OUT two-day workshop, KICKSTAND, for professionals and leaders from across the Province. But, when the design  workshop ends, participants and presenters will be heading to The Forks to celebrate and share what they’ve learned with the general public.

Open to everyone. Capacity is limited to 120 people. Parking for bikes (and cars) is free.

When: Friday November 23rd, 7-9pm

Where: The Forks Atrium (near the elevator for the Forks Market Tower)

cars) is free.
