Introducing Cycle ‘Sauga, a podcast in pilot that will bring bicycle news and discussion to Mississauga and its surrounding areas.

The Mississauga Cycling Advisory Committee is dedicated to promoting the best cycling experience possible for all citizens, residents, and visitors of the City of Mississauga. When we gather, whether in the official MCAC monthly meetings or just as one person to another, there are discussions that I know the cyclists we are representing would love to be a part of or at least be a fly-on-the-wall. Now we have another opportunity to bring those discussion to the street: The Cycle ‘Sauga audio podcast.

Allan Harder presented the Cycle ‘Sauga podcast concept with the intention of being a voice to grow and inform the cycling community in Mississauga. Mississauga Cycling supports that concept by hosting the podcast pilot on this site. The intention is to run the podcast in close partnership with the Mississauga Cycling Advisory Committee.

We encourage participation. Here are some of the ways to let your voice be heard:

1. Offer to be a guest on upcoming episodes.
2. Follow Mississauga Cycling on Twitter @bikeMississauga. Have your say through Twitter with hashtag #bikeM
3. Write to your city councillor with your support for better cycling in Mississauga. They want to hear from you!
4. Post comments on the page of the episode.

This podcast is NOT…

1. …not an exhaustive recording of the MCAC public meetings at City Hall. You can show up in person the 2nd Tuesday of every month or check out the minutes online. NOTE: The meetings are open to the public but does not allow time for non-MCAC members unless arrangements have been made beforehand. I know it is tough not to give input to some of our discussions, but time and policy just doesn’t allow it. That is another reason why this podcast is being piloted: We really do want to hear what you have to say!
2. …not a declaration of MCAC final decisions. This is an open discussion where we can banter ideas to get people thinking. We are hoping to receive constructive feedback from listeners.
