Halifax

Nova Scotia Bike Summit



Vendredi Octobre 17 2014 (Toute la journée) -
Dimanche Octobre 19 2014 (Toute la journée)

This year’s program explores the many ways we build bicycle culture. As we work to encourage new riders, build better infrastructure, and grow our bicycle economy, we all have different roles to play.

Our program will explore local grassroots initiatives, trends in bicycle network planning and infrastructure, the rise of the bicycle economy, Mountain Bike Trails potential in Nova Scotia, and the future of the Blue Route, our burgeoning province-wide cycling network.

We are honoured this year to have author Elly Blue from Portland Oregon as our guest speaker.

Elly’s Bio
Elly Blue lives in Portland, Oregon and has been writing about bicycle transportation since 2006. Her work has appeared in the Guardian, Bicycling, Grist, Bitch, BikePortland, Momentum, and elsewhere. Her first book, Everyday Bicycling, came out in December, 2012. Her book,Bikenomics: How Bicycling Can Save the Economy, came out in December, 2013.
