 On Monday, June 22, 2009 all Mississauga Transit buses will be equipped with a bus bike rack. Mississauga Bike to Work Day celebration had a demonstration. If you missed that demonstration or want to investigate further if your bike will fit the racks, bring your bike out to one of these two demonstrations on Thursday, June 18th at the Square One bus terminal or at the Canada Day downtown celebration. The Canada Day celebration even features a draw for a new bicycle for those who participate.
Each bus’ bike rack will be able to hold two bicycles. These demonstations are a great way to become familiar with how they operate without the pressure of tight schedules and moving traffic. Continue reading Mississauga Transit Bus Bike Rack Demonstrations
Mississauga cyclists were out in perfect sunshine weather for this year’s Bike to Work inaugural pancake breakfast at City Hall. Four police officers from the Peel’s cycling division were on hand to escort the planned ride from Riverwood Park to City Centre. Suddenly all the cyclists were strictly obeying the traffic signs like the ones saying “cyclists dismount and walk across intersection.”
We were treated at the pancake breakfast (in addition to pancakes) to a demonstration on how to load bikes onto the Mississauga Transit bus bike racks. Check out the video.[youtube 0Gt2wYCwl7Y] Continue reading Mississauga Transit demos Bike Racks at Bike to Work ’09
 In June 2009 there will be two key Public Information Centre gatherings in Mississauga and Brampton to present findings and gather information from the public. This study goes beyond just putting in an efficient rapid transit corridor, but rather to create a “beautiful street…featuring expanded mobility, vibrant economic activity, and liveable, mixed-use neighbourhoods, integrated with the transporation infrastructure”. This definitely sounds like a streetscape that demands safe bicycle traffic.

The much more reliable method is to keep count of the number of cyclists poking their heads out of the garages and (fearlessly) gliding onto the Mississauga passageways. We’re starting to see, little by little, more cyclists out on the Mississauga roads this month. The next harbinger of Spring is the Toronto International Bicycle Show – and the Cycling Committee will be there. March 13 – 15, 2009. Continue reading Visit Us at the Toronto International Bicycle Show 2009
