Working to Make Cycling In Winnipeg Safe, Enjoyable and Convenient Year Round
We envision a city where cycling is embraced as the preferred mode of transportation, where cycling is integrated into urban design and planning, and where Winnipeg is recognized as a leader in cycling infrastructure and programs.
To realize this vision, we balance our advocacy efforts across the following six categories (widely referred to as the six E’s of cycling):
- Equity
- Education
- Engineering
- Encouragement
- Enforcement
- Evaluation
Our Record – A History of Successful Winnipeg Bicycle Advocacy
While we have not always been successful in our advocacy efforts, we have scored many victories that add to the safety, enjoyment and convenience of cyclists across Winnipeg each and every day.
Our successes include the following:
- Successfully advocating for a separate Bicycle/Pedestrian Bridge as part of the Disraeli Bridges Rehabilitation Project in 2008. This new bridge will open in late September of 2013.
- Administering Winnipeg’s Annual Bike to Work Day Event
- Developing and Running Cycling Skills Courses
- Successfully advocating for changes to Manitoba’s Driver’s Handbook
- Publishing an Annual Report on Winnipeg’s Bicycle Traffic Counts
