Bike safety is something we like to be able to share with kids and when we can do it with a great group like Cycling PEI it’s even better. Recently at Abegweit First Nation we had 15 youth participate in the event. Cycling PEI sent 3 staff and 2 volunteers to run the event, do minor repairs and provide 1 on 1 assistance to anyone who needed it.
The Mi’kmaq Confederacy donated helmets for anyone that didn’t have one and also donated a gift certificate for a new bike, helmet and bike pump. There was a BBQ following the event with lots of great food.
PEI RCMP are in the planning stages with Cycling PEI to arrange a mountain bike intro course to be held at the Brookvale Bike park in September. We’ll keep you posted about this event.
Huge thanks to all who helped make this event so successful.
