Happy May Day everyone!
I'm curious if and how folks are deciding to participate in "Bike Month" this year, since most regular activities or events can't happy during the pandemic.
Since we are usually busy busy running classes and open shop in our space, we have some extra time on our hands this season that could be used to celebrate, support and encourage cycling in other ways. *I'd love to hear if anyone has come up with ideas to engage people, specifically outside of your shop spaces.*
I also understand that even just *continuing to exist* is keeping our hands full in many places, so I certainly don't expect most organizations have the time or energy (or funds) to think about "Bike Month".
Stay well,

Hi Ainsley,
Cycle Toronto has moved Bike Month to Sept. 2020 as well as Bike To Work Day.
The League of American Bicyclists has also moved Bike to Work Week to Sept 2020 in the US.
For Scarborough Cycles we had our always popular Tour de Scarborough planned in May, but now I am still in the process about how we can adapt it somehow during the pandemic.
Cheers
