Active Transportation Thunder Bay

09/22/2023

More carbon neutral transportation options are becoming popular as you've probably noticed an increasing number of electric vehicles on the road. BUT - the original carbon neutral transportation will always be Active Transportation! Community Spokes will be hosting a Family Bike Swap at this event, so if you or your family need to change it up or you have kids who need a bike come on by! E-Bikes (with actual pedals you pedal) will also be on display.

THIS SATURDAY! Join us for the third annual Thunder Bay Electric Vehicle Show on Saturday, September 23 11-3 at the CLE Coliseum Building. This show is presented by Synergy North in partnership with the Electric Vehicle Association of Northern Ontario (EVANO).

Check out 2 and 4 wheel EV with their owners and see Community Spokes for their bike swap.

The City of Thunder Bay bike lanes are typically opened on May 1st but due to the late snowfall and potential for more to come the official opening will be delayed. Please stay tuned for an update about the official opening once sweeping activities are completed.

Today is the day the bike lanes "close" until April 30. If you're out and about walking or riding please remember to wear reflective clothing and use your hand signals! Being visible and predictable go a long way to improving safe active transportation outcomes. Also remember most of the Multi-Use Trails are winter maintained. Happy AT journeys!

For the month of June let's get moving! If you're working at the office, that can mean rethinking how you get to work. If you're working remotely, take some active breaks! The TBDHU tool at TBay on the Move has a cool calculator that shows your environmental impacts as well so you can see how making active commutes affects how much greenhouse gas we produce. Most of all - have fun!

Traditionally May 1st is the day where the bike lanes are officially open as street cleaning takes place and the lanes are cleared of all the winter debris. This year the official opening will be delayed due to the weather conditions we have been experiencing. The City will continue to monitor and get cleaning activities going when conditions allow it and will also provide a media update. In the mean time, keep enjoying your activities!

With the days getting longer and the weather getting warmer, it could be a great time to get out and explore areas close to home! Just remember the spring can have some big swings in temperature, especially when we have warm spells. So be mindful where you step or wheel as you get out and get some fresh air!
