Celebrate Bike Month in Greater Sudbury
Jun 2, 2022
Residents are invited to join the Mayor of Greater Sudbury for a bike ride and proclamation to celebrate Bike Month. Come out to meet fellow cyclists and explore some of the new cycling infrastructure recently installed in our community. Participants are asked to meet at the CP Rail parking lot on Elgin Street at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 9, 2022. Parking is free after 6 p.m.
The 18.7-kilometre ride will go around the South End neighbourhood of Sudbury, through the grounds of Laurentian University and through Bell Park before returning to downtown Sudbury.
The ride is expected to take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours and is suitable for people with some level of cycling experience.
The following additional events are planned to celebrate Bike Month:
