Tomorrow is the last day for early-bird registration for the 2008 Toronto Bike Summit. Early bird registrants get entered into a draw for a one night stay for two in a Deluxe Guestroom at the Fairmont Royal York. Not too shabby! :)It's good to see bikey things picked up and pushed in non-bike centric blogs, like Torontoist:
More at Torontoist.Some of the speakers at the all-day event include Seattle Senior Transportation Planner Peter Lagerwey; Chicagoland Bicycle Federation's Randy Neufeld; and Koy Thompson, Director of the London Cycling Campaign, which is described as the largest urban cycling organization in the world.
Can they teach Toronto to take cycling seriously? It's easy to be cynical and believe that the city will never make serious progress on cycling infrastructure. Indeed, it's highly unlikely that a single day of discussion will change any minds or speed up the city's implementation of its cycling plans. But it is an important step in the political process and you can bet that the established TCAT, nascent Cyclists Union, and other cycling groups will be learning some new tricks.
