    Collingwood is ‘On the Move’: Celebrating Bike Month

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON – Collingwood residents are encouraged to get ‘On the Move’ by adding active transportation to their daily routine this June in celebration of Bike Month!

    Whether you walk or wheel, active transportation improves personal and community health by increasing physical activity and socializing, while also reducing the negative environmental impacts of vehicular traffic.

    June is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors, ride a bike, walk, or use other forms of active transportation to get you to where you need to go.

    Shifting your routine, even if it is one day a week, is a great start. The Town encourages you to participate in Walk and Wheel Wednesdays throughout the month of June, starting Wednesday, June 5. All you have to do is add a walk or wheel to your day.

    Launch into Bike Month, on June 1 at Trail Tunes, an award-winning, regional event connecting communities by trail and by song. Explore over 100kms of trails and enjoy live music at the trailheads of Wasaga Beach, Clearview and Collingwood. Visit the Shipyards Amphitheatre, 2 North Maple Street from 12:00 p.m. until 4:00 pm on Saturday, June 1.

    Also on Saturday, June 1, chat with volunteers from the Trails & Active Transportation Committee and members of Council at the Farmer’s Market (corner of Pine & Second Streets). Be safe, be seen; visit the Town’s booth and get your free Town of Collingwood bike light (while supplies last)!

    NEW! The Town has launched three videos on its YouTube Channel to help educate everyone on cycling rules and etiquette on Collingwood bike lanes and trails, the new sharrows on Maple Street, and trail etiquette for all users.  The videos will highlight Collingwood’s 60+ kilometers of recreational trails for cyclists, walkers, joggers, and other modes of active transportation.

    Learning how to cycle safely is important. Cyclists under 18 must wear an approved bicycle helmet including children riding in a child carrier, or a bicycle trailer. A helmet is strongly recommended for anyone 18 or over. Visit Ontario.ca for more cycling safety tips.

    Drivers play a critical role in keeping cyclists safe. Bicycles in the roadway are considered vehicles. Drivers must watch for cyclists, slow down, and give them space. When passing a cyclist, drivers are required by the Highway Traffic Act to maintain a minimum distance of one metre between their vehicle and the cyclist. Visit sharetheroad.ca for more information on how drivers can co-exist safely with cyclists.

    The expansion of safe cycling routes, bike parking shelters, new crosswalks, and water bottle refill stations are just some examples of how Collingwood is working to support active transportation and alternative modes of travel in the community.

    About Collingwood

    The Town of Collingwood is a progressive community located in the heart of a four-season recreation area on the southern shore of Georgian Bay. The area is well known for its many natural amenities and its rich heritage. Collingwood is a destination for tourism and many business, sporting, and cultural events Collingwood acts as a gateway to the South Georgian Bay region, with stunning landscapes that encourage an active lifestyle, and inspire the local arts and culture community.  Downtown Collingwood might just surprise you with 30 plus restaurants, 60 plus boutique shops, spas for relaxing, live music for grooving…all in the only downtown core recognized by Canada’s Registrar of Historic Places!  More recently, the harbourfront area is emerging as an extension of the downtown district.  Plans for expanding the amenities and events in the harbourfront area promise to make this a much more prominent tourism destination.

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
