Cycling Documentary
“Why we Cycle” Kelowna Premiere
Join us at The Rotary Centre for the Arts on May 9 for a screening of the Dutch documentary film Why We Cycle that Modacity is bringing to Kelowna. Following the screening will be a panel discussion featuring local business leaders, politicians, bike advocates, and Mayor Colin Basran. Exploring the habits and needs of cyclists through a unique perspective, it is sure to be an eye-opening film for bike and car commuters alike. Tickets are $17 and can be purchased at the Rotary Centre, via telephone, or online on their website. If you want to check out the trailer before picking up your ticket follow this link!

Why you should do those intervals …
Winter is the perfect time to get stronger by doing intervals on the indoor bike.
Beware of the bike scam …
This is a note from Angus … I have encountered this before and my (previously stolen and then recovered) bike was advertised like this in the past. When someone is interested, the claim the bike isn’t here, or in transit etc. STAY AWAY!
“Thought you might be interested in a scam (I believe.) that I found on craigslist Kelowna in bikes for sale by owner section.
They have a very expensive Scott road bike listed for sale for $1521.
I tried to make arrangements to see the bike and have Shaun buy it for me. He was given a story that the bike was packaged for shipping and was in Winnipeg. When Shaun stated that he was going to be in Winnipeg for xmas and that he could do the deal there correspondence stopped. I do not know how to alert craigslist but thought you might like to at least put a warning out to all the bees. If it not a scam it is a killer deal. ( Just too good to be true.)”
Is it worth the risk?
Hope everybody is enjoying the skiing! Found this article … “food for thought”
