Itinerary:

Time Change since I've just realized that the first info session/clinic will begin at 12:30 p.m.

MEC Edmonton is taking over Churchill Square in Downtown Edmonton to host Bikefest. We'll get a chance to see MEC's new line of bikes, pedal-powered music, and the City of Edmonton’s Bike Library.

The event will include displays and clinics and promises plenty of opportunities to learn about the sport of cycling and about local bike culture.

The Bikefest will also include the MEC Bike Swap. The Swap will take place from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. and you can call MEC at 780-488-6614 for more details about how to participate in the Swap if you have cycling gear and products you want to sell.

We'll meet in front of the Second Cup located across the street from the south-west corner of Sir Winston Churchill Square. I'll be wearing my yellow EOC ball cap. Please also check out my picture in the volunteer section of the EOC website.
