Nova Scotia Bike Summit

Friday October 17 2014 (All day) -
Sunday October 19 2014 (All day)

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.
