• June 8, 2007 - don't forget WiseRider Day is in front of the Leg Building in Regina on Saturday, June 9th. The event runs from 10am-4pm.
• June 8, 2007 - Darrell Noakes in his roll as Education Coordinator for the SCA will be on CJME 980 Regina and CKOM 650 Saskatoon call in radio show on Saturday June 9th at 3:30 - 4:30. Darrell will be the special guest for the full segment. Darrell is from Saskatoon and is more aware of what's happening with cyclists in Saskatoon than in Regina and he would certainly be grateful if some Regina members of the SCA could call in to the show to offer their opinions. Of course, he wants to hear from Saskatoon and all Sask cyclists, too. A lot of the callers will probably raise issues of conflicts between cyclists and motorists and pedestrians: cyclists should get off the road; cyclists should get off the sidewalk; cycling's too dangerous to be legal but Darrell would like to steer the conversation toward civility and cooperation. If you have any questions or advice for Darrell before he is on the show contact him at borealis@borealisoutdoor.com. Make sure you tune in!
