If so, then consider signing this petition.
2010 Meeting Schedule.
Meetings will no longer take place at the Volunteer Nanaimo offices
Meetings are still scheduled for the 4th TUESDAY of each month, at 7 pm.
City Bike brochure & map
The GNCC has been working with the city for some time now to produce a useful cycling map. It has finally become available over the last year or so. Look here in the city's site for the brochure as a PDF.
 
Bike For Your Life
This annual Parksville event is on Sunday the 8th of August this year. Let's have more Nanaimo riders there than Parksville cyclists!
Bike Sense site
One of our members has pointed out that the Bike Sense site should be in our list of links. Go there to view or download the Bike Sense Manual (in PDF form). It is a good review of how to ride on the roads. We have some copies: if you want one, come out to a meeting!
Bike Parking Brochure
Go to this link to find a printable (PDF) file which can be filled out by any cyclist (or want-to-be-cyclist) and left with a store or mall's management to encourage improvement and/or installation of bike parking facilities.
 
New Pictures Needed...
If you have any photos that have “anything” to do with cycling in Namaimo, and that won't look just too darn small when their width is reduced to 250 pixels, please send them in! Full credit and a small description is displayed along with the photo (see below, right.)
2010 membership rates.
The membership fee: just $10.
Corporate memberships: $50.
Bike Tools
The board of the GNCC has decided that the bike maintenance/service stand and special tools should be available to GNCC members to borrow. Fill out the form on the contacts page to inquire.

The Greater Nanaimo Cycling Coalition has a new lease on life?

It was hoped that a lower membership price will be one important measure to allow us to attract many more members. Still, a concerted effort is needed to recruit members. One particular group that we will be targeting are Vancouver Island University students. Any ideas? If so, please use the contact form to get our attention!

Our main purposes are to:

  • provide a unified voice for all cycling interests in the area;
  • advocate for cyclists to the local governments;
  • promote cycling-friendly roads and facilities;
  • encourage recreation, commuting and touring as reasons to ride.
