The Climate Cycle: Bicycles, History and the Road Ahead

The history of the bicycle is tied up in climate change – invented during a climate crisis, relied on in periods of austerity, and a key technology in a carbon-lite future, the bike is a great symbol of climate adaptation. Join Gordon Hobbis of Cap’s Bicycle Shop And DandyHorse Bicycle Society to learn about the history of bikes, their use in combating climate change, and potential future technologies.

This event is part of BC Library Association’s Climate Action Week, a province-wide initiative to highlight the ways communities and libraries are taking action in the climate crisis. Check out all the climate action events at the New Westminster Public Library from November 1-7! nwpl.ca/climate
