Location:  Gordon and McGilvray Sts.

Date: Tuesday, Sept. 14

Time: 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.

Cyclists enter a safety zone in the bike lane and are greeted by an officer who quickly inspects their bicycle for Highway Traffic Act required safety equipment. If the cyclist is missing something (most times there is no sounding device, like a bell on the bicycle) the officer will explain the need for that piece of safety equipment. There is no enforcement during the SPACE events as the intent is to educate the cyclist. The cyclist is then given a brochure explaining the SPACE program and other ‘nice to know’ information about bicycle safety.  There are also free handouts like coupons to on campus retailers or bicycle shop coupons as a ‘thank you’ for participating in the event.
