Cruisers Winter Mandy

Mandy Johnson is a true winter warrior on two wheels! With the thermometer reading -33 I wasn’t sure how she was going to get to the station for our interview this morning. With the topic of conversation being the Canmore Community Cruisers‘ Bike All Winter initiative and Light Up Your Ride workshop at artsPlace on December 21st, would she prove that Bike All Winter really means ALL winter?

Mandy says she’s inspired to ride her bike in this kind of weather by students at Lawrence Grassi Middle School who have committed to cycling to school every day. She shared some tips about staying as warm as possible while riding downhill on a chilly morning from the Peaks of Grassi.

Watch for the Canmore Community Cruisers on Main Street, Elevation Place, and Cougar Creek tonight handing out bike lights and reflective gear to help keep you visible in the dark of winter, as well as other locations around town in the coming weeks.  Click here for more details.
