SASKATCHEWAN:
BIKING IN REGINA:
The following item is from the Act Up In Saskatchewan website, something like a Saskatchewan Indymedia (without the usual nuts). It concerns Molly's old stomping grounds- Regina Sask.(where I learned to never look anybody in the face unless I was sure that I could beat them up). As I often say to people here in Winnipeg, "I spent 14 years in "beautiful" downtown Regina. In this country most people get less time for killing somebody". It is encouraging to see that even Regina sees the need for bicycle transport. We'll see if this thoroughly statist initiative has any effect.
.....................

Better biking brainstorm
Transport 2000 and Regina Eco-Living are sponsoring a Better Biking Brainstrom that will look at questions like: What are the city's plans, what improvements can we propose and what actions can we take? "This is your chance to voice your opinion on recreational and community cycling in the City of Regina," the organizers say. All suggestions will be taken to city hall. The brainstorm session will be held Thursday, July 3 at 7 p.m. at Knox Met Church, 2340 Victoria Ave.

BIKE SUMMER ! 2007
Held every year since 1999, 'Bike Summer' is "a celebration of love for bicycles and community beginning Summer Solstice 2007.Bike culture, rides, speakers, street theatre, art, classes, workshops, music, films, critical masses, community building and more." These activists in and around the Critical Mass 'non-organization' hope to bring this celebration to numerous cities around the world again this year. Presently over 400 cities across the world have had critical mass rides, and the people behind 'Bike Summer' hope to inspire a DIY Carnival this year in as many of these cities as possible. Go on over to their website at http://www.bikesummer.org/2007 to see what it's all about and to get ideas if you'd like to join in. Lots there for fun and entertainment.
