Bike Brandon

We're a group of cyclists and friends enthused about making Brandon the best it can be for bikes. Commuting, shopping, or just having fun — try it by bike!

“I was surprised to see how very strong the benefit was.” Biking helps you live longer with less likelihood of osteoarthritis or knee pain. https://t.co/TfadRNQPpf

“In central neighborhoods, bicyclists can access more than 15% of regional jobs, with minimal costs, typically $200 to $400 annually for bike repairs and tasty snacks”

In Minneapolis, not only are our protected bikeways cleared of snow, but public works actually pretreats for ice when we have a storm on the way! ❄️ 🚲

@JonMcGavock @BikeWinnipeg @WinnipegTrails Bicycle rhymes with icicle — we’re in!

It would be great to see some bike counters throughout Brandon. Where would you like to see them?

[Bike Brandon @Bike_Brandon]

Not as much as tennis or badminton, but cycling can add 3.7 years to your life 🚲

[Jesse Morse, M.D. @DrJesseMorse]

Imagine adding 10 years to your life just playing sports!

Wow that’s amazing!

Basically, if you can drive down Park Avenue where it curves near 10th Street, this is the same. Good start from the city, more please!

[Bike Brandon @Bike_Brandon]

Tested these on the weekend and they are easy to navigate on a bike! Cars were kept to a reasonable speed (about the 40km/h limit) and it didn’t look annoying at all, just different.

Chicanes have been added to the intersection of Durum Drive and Neepawa Drive and a mini roundabout installed at the intersection of Princess Avenue East and Douglas Street as part of the City of Brandon’s vision zero traffic safety initiatives. #bdnmb https://t.co/CoyoqKqRnK

That's awesome! We would love to see this in Brandon too.

[Bike Brandon @Bike_Brandon]

Our condolences go out to the family of the young man who passed away in yesterday's accident. Our thoughts are with the individuals and families of all involved.

[Bike Brandon @Bike_Brandon]

A vehicle hit a cyclist this evening on Victoria Ave. This is why we advocate for protected bike infrastructure in
#bdnmb.

[Bike Brandon @Bike_Brandon]

This is too bad to see — but it underscores the need to design our streets for safe speeds always, rather than relying on perfect behaviour under imperfect conditions

[City of Brandon @CityBrandon]

The City is reversing 38 pilot project speeding tickets due to an error in process. We apologize for our error and feel the fairest thing to do is wipe the slate clean on those tickets. Learn more: https://t.co/inl6AWZoWd

[Bike Brandon @Bike_Brandon]

Very true for Brandon as well!

[Bike Brandon @Bike_Brandon]

We’re always on the lookout for businesses with a good bike rack

[Bike Brandon @Bike_Brandon]

We would love to see a shift like this happen in Brandon. Change is possible!

[Ian Walker @ianwalkerwpg]

A rapid shift to sustainable mobility is 💯 possible of we encourage decision makers to have some courage to prioritize pedestrians, cyclists, people using micro mobility devices and transit users!

We can't wait to see what kind of recommendations they'll have for Brandon.
