Mathias Bogaert, the Consulate General of Belgium in Cape Town, with the participants in the first of three mountain bike tours on Sunday 19 September.

When news broke that the fire that broke out on the slopes of Table Mountain at the end of April this year destroyed the Jagger Library on the University of Cape Town campus, the world whole noticed it.

Belgian university staff and librarians, in particular, understood the pain and loss that the University of Louvain library had burned twice in the last century – in 1914 and 1940. To show their support, they have launched a fundraising campaign, Move for Cape Town, to raise money for the rebuilding of the Jagger Library.

Eager to contribute to this initiative, Mathias Bogaert, Consulate General of Belgium in Cape Town, launched an invitation both to the Belgian community and to the entire Cape Town community to join them in one of the three hikes by mountain bike in support of the campaign. .

Together, the objective is to cover 1,000 km on mountain bikes and collect 50,000 R. Three mountain bike circuits have been organized. The first, which took place in Kirstenbosch from Black Box Coffeeworks in Constantia Nek, was held last weekend on Sunday, September 19.

“It was such a beautiful day. Get to know new people and ride together for a good cause. Even though I am a newbie in the world of mountain biking, I will definitely join at least one of the other circuits that will be organized next month, ”says Nicolas D’hanis, intern at the Consulate General of Belgium in Cape Town.

The dates of the next tours are Sunday October 3 and Sunday October 17. The participants of the second tour will meet at the Bootleggers Coffee Shop at Forest Glade House in Tokai. The Franschhoek tour is the last on the list with participants invited to meet at Droom Guesthouse. Participants will first have a coffee at 9:00 a.m. with a kick-off around 9:30 a.m.

Each circuit has two different trails; one for bikers / social beginners and one for more advanced mountain bikers. A visit will take two to two and a half hours and each trail forms a loop. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Participants are requested to take note that an activity permit will be required for certain trails. Participants must have or rent their own mountain bike.

Those who wish to contribute can do so by joining Team Belgium for one or more tours or by making a donation via the following link: https://forms.kuleuven.be/c0001/fondsen/219/donate/fr.

The organizers aim for a contribution of R500 per visit and per participant.

To register, send an email to [email protected] with “Move for Cape Town” in the subject line. The email should contain the name of the participant, an indication of the desired tour, whether social biker or advanced biker and a mobile phone number. In the confirmation email, more practical and payment information will follow.

• For more information, visit www.moveforcapetown.be (select English language).

So many moons! Enjoy your vacation with these festivals.

WILMINGTON, NC – Dusty Casteen of A Bike for Every Child turns two wheels into conversation starters with Wilmington youth. Working alongside them, he teaches both practical mechanical skills and life skills that will hopefully keep them on track.

“We try to use a bike as a way to relate to people, so it’s pretty much just a vehicle for relationship building,” Casteen said.

Casteen started this operation in his living room in 2015 after he and his best friend started finding old bikes, putting them back in motion and giving them to people in need.

“I think the first two years we didn’t make a dime at all, and from there it was really good because the community kind of found out what we were doing and they came to our sides and have done anything from bike rides to donations. parts and tools, ”Casteen said.

Six years ago he hadn’t planned a place where kids would come after school to work on bikes and escape the weight of the world a bit, but now that he exists he doesn’t want to do anything to put jeopardized the links that was built.

“Sometimes they have things going on that you don’t know,” Casteen said. “It’s hard to figure that out until you give them just enough time to lean on you. I think all the kids are really in pain right now, a lot more than they were, and that kind of gives them the opportunity to get away from it all – to come to a place that they feel they are in. comfortable.

But the pandemic made getting bike parts more difficult, especially for a nonprofit operating on a low budget, and Casteen hated the idea of ​​limiting the impact of the program on the community.

“Sometimes it gets a little overwhelming, when you’re trying to devote your whole life to doing something really good and you can’t find funding or you can’t find bikes or parts,” Casteen said. “The cycle industry is in shambles right now … and it’s getting harder and harder for us to get what we need. “

In order to generate more money, Casteen came up with the idea of ​​offering bike tours of downtown Wilmington that show people hidden places they might not know in the city.

“Every purchase price of an electric bike ride puts another kid’s bike on the road,” Casteen said. “So not only do you come in and have fun, take a ride, but you’re directly responsible for a kid who can’t afford a bike to buy a bike in Wilmington.”

With billions of dollars spent to revive Canada’s tourism sector, a grant of $ 851,522 seems like a drop in the ocean. But according to the mayor of Kimberley, B.C., this provincial investment in the city of the Rocky Mountain e-bike infrastructure will pay dividends well in excess of six figures.

“The e-bike phenomenon is not a fad, it’s here to stay,” says Don McCormick, adding that Kimberley’s “Electrify the Mountains” project will make it “the first community in North America to adopt a trails specially designed for electric bikes and adaptive electric bikes.

Electrify the Mountains adds 36 kilometers of electric pedal bike trails equipped with solar charging stations. Scheduled to open in 2022, the trails will cross 840-hectare Kimberley Nature Park and the nearby Nordic Center.

Fueled in part by the demand for social-distancing outdoor activities, the popularity of electric bikes has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Year over year, global sales grew 145% in 2020, reports the New York-based NPD Group, surpassing a 65% increase in sales of all bikes. In the meantime, e-bike sharing, rental and subscription services have sprung up in dozens of cities and towns across Canada.

These zero-emission rides are popular with travelers because they can cover greater distances than would be possible on foot or on conventional bikes, regulate rider effort by providing battery-powered assistance when needed, and can negotiate paths and roads closed to cars. and too rugged for electric vehicles such as scooters. No wonder a growing number of Canadian hotels and resorts are offering electric bike rentals – Western Newfoundland Sugar Hill Inn, western Quebec Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello, and the coasts of British Columbia Tweedsmuir Lodge are three recent examples – with tour operators across Canada incorporating them into new offerings explored below.

Banff by electric bike

White mountain adventures and Banff cycle both launched guided e-bike tours of Canada’s first national park this summer. Early offerings include a 50-mile round-trip trip along the Bow Valley Parkway that is crossed by a short hike to the waterfall-draped Johnston Canyon, and a 50-mile round-trip jaunt along the trail without Rocky Mountain Legacy drive between Banff and the equally scenic town of Canmore. Banff Cycle, meanwhile, adds a three-hour guided “Banff and Bow Valley” tour to the mix. This typically includes the 8-mile Lake Minnewanka Loop, Banff Townsite, Tunnel Mountain Road, Vermilion Lakes, and the 5-mile Banff Springs Golf Course Loop that passes through thundering Bow Falls.

Fatbike in the Yukon

This new excursion of the luxurious Mount Logan EcoLodge on the Alaska Highway near Haines Junction is an exception to the rule that Canadian e-bike tours hibernate in the winter. Equipped with oversized tires to accommodate riding on snow and other unstable surfaces, the lodge’s large e-bikes can be booked for two-hour guided tours that explore the pristine nature bordering Kluane National Park.

Sipping and Electric Biking in Niagara

Niagara Bike Tours hosts group rides of at least four electric cyclists ranging in length from 65 to over 110 kilometers. Routes include a two-day ‘Introductory Niagara Hike’, which can be customized to visit local attractions ranging from wineries to waterfalls, and a new ‘Beer and Bikes’ tour, which cycles between more than a dozen craft breweries.

Bikes and bears in Churchill

After organizing dog sledding tours for over a decade, Wapusk Adventures began offering three-hour electric bike tours of the Churchill area this summer. Accompanied by a guide and a rifle-armed polar bear guard – to better frighten the world’s largest land carnivore – riders admire various murals in the town of Churchill before following the steep coastline of Hudson Bay to the surreal wreckage of a Curtiss C-46 cargo plane, known locally as “Miss Piggy,” which approached the runway at Churchill Airport in 1973.

Gardens and Gouda on Vancouver Island

Located in the pretty Qualicum beach, the new Electric bicycle company. offers a three-hour “Home and Garden Tour” showcasing upscale private residences and seaside flowers; a four to five hour drive and ferry trip to Hornby Island, home to Helliwell and Tribune Bay Provincial Parks; and a two-hour cruise along forest trails and back roads to Little Qualicum Cheese Works at Morningstar Farm with a stop for snacks at the Wild Culture Bakery or the soon-to-open Fern + Cedar Brewery.

Celtic colors on the Cabot Trail

Based in the small village of The Lodge on the scenic Nova Scotia Lighthouse Route, Freewheeling adventures recently rotated to add guided e-bike tours to its extensive menu of multi-day bike trips. An upcoming six-day tour of the 300-mile Cabot Trail, for example, will meander through the fiery fall foliage of Cape Breton Highlands National Park and coincide with the International Celtic Colors Festival from October 8 to 16.

Cyclists on Gotham Bike Tours can revel in the fall foliage in the Hudson Valley while exploring the area on fun bike tours.

It’s another super active fall for hikers and cyclists across the region. Since the start of the pandemic, trail use across the country has increased tenfold according to the American Hiking Society, and the Hudson Valley is no exception. Lucky for us, Gotham Bike Tours has launched some creative and fun bike tours to explore the all-new 750-mile Empire State Trail (EST).

Since 2014, Lukas Herbert and Laura Willis (respectively one of the best tourist guides and the guide of the Appalachian Mountain Club) have offered cyclists extraordinary rides. Although the EST connects Manhattan, Albany, and Buffalo, Gotham focuses on the trails of the Hudson Valley. Bikers can start with the Maybrook branch, a basic tour on the EST; it starts at the Brewster station parking lot and runs 35 miles north to Poughkeepsie. Like all Gotham tours, unlimited refreshments are provided to refuel before, during, and after the trip. (Lunch, train and shuttle tickets, and rental bikes are also available.)

Gotham has additions to the Maybrook branch: the Sunset Limited option extends the ride through Poughkeepsie and down the river to New Paltz, where you’ll arrive just in time to watch the stunning sunset over Shawangunk Ridge before heading out. ‘to be brought back to Brewster.

And then there is the visit to the craft brewery. This 35-mile ride begins at the “Old Put” Rail Trail in Brewster – an old railroad that was once bustled by commuters in the early 1900s – and includes a midday pit stop for a picnic before arriving. at Captain Lawrence Brewery in Elmsford, where you can relax and sample up to 10 of their award-winning beers.

Ron Rothberg has a soft spot for Jacksonville’s public art installations.

He has a wall painted on the wooden fence outside his home at Park Street and Talbot Avenue, and he runs a business that runs tours of the murals and statues of Riverside, Avondale and downtown. People who participate in the self-guided tours ride electric bikes that themselves ride works of art, each decorated by a local artist.

Jax Art Bikes works from Open road cycles in Avondale. Rothberg said he plans to open a second location in San Marco soon.

It has a fleet of a dozen head-turning touring bikes, scalloped with noses and wings and flowers and images of Jacksonville bridges. The bikes are electric, so riders can pedal if they choose or use one of five “power assist” levels that push the bikes forward up to 20mph.

The bikes are all ‘steppers’ – what used to be called a girls’ bike, without a center crossbar – which makes them easy to get on and off. A thumb-activated throttle activates electric assist, or the bikes can be set to provide an extra boost every time they pedal.

Rothberg said that if you can ride a bicycle, you can ride an electric bicycle. Riders must be at least 18 years old and pass a quick security check before being released. Helmets are provided and the bikes have Kevlar lace-up tires to make them durable.

Following:Electric scooters have arrived in downtown Jacksonville. Here is how you can use them.

Cyclists can book a bike for a 90-minute picnic, self-guided tour, or Saturday excursion to Arts market by the river. Rothberg said he hopes to start tours for newcomers to Jacksonville soon and is working on plans for a tour of historic churches and food tours that will move from restaurant to restaurant. It also provides guided tours on Sundays led by artists, photographers and storytellers.

Rothberg said he started the business to show people the public art and architecture around them. One of Art Bike Jax’s most popular tours is a self-guided trip that takes cyclists along the St. Johns River and into downtown, past murals painted on downtown buildings. and the mosaics outside the Jessie Ball Center DuPont.

“The artistic community in this city is so amazing,” said Rothberg. “I think more people who live here in Jacksonville should know that this is a significant collection of international art.”

Cyclists download an app to any smartphone and simply follow the map for a three-hour tour. Each bike has a mount on its handlebars to allow easy viewing of the map and the route at the same time. Tours stick to quiet residential roads, designated bike paths, and the Riverwalk when possible, but cyclists must deal with traffic at certain points along their route.

He said he saw a mix of locals and visitors making the tours. Some are interested in art, others are just looking for a pleasant stroll along the river to watch the dolphins play. “Some people want to know more about architecture or history,” he said. “Others want to learn on their own. ”

The e-Dart electric bikes cost around $ 1,300 each. Rothberg worked with local artists to give each one a unique touch. Next year, when the bikes start showing wear and tear, he plans to auction them off, with the proceeds going to artists and an undecided arts group.

Following:‘Artists are historians’, and pandemic doesn’t stop them in Jacksonville

“Then we’re going to start all over again,” Rothberg said.

Rothberg is a native Floridian, born in Miami and raised in Orlando. He moved to the Jacksonville area in 2004 and to Avondale in 2014.

The inspiration for the Art Bikes project came from a wooden fence outside his house, along Talbot Avenue. At the start of the pandemic, a neighbor offered to paint a peacock on one end of the fence. He blossomed from there, with his kids and their friends adding to it until he ran the entire length.

“This is how it all started,” he said.

The three-hour self-guided tours cost $ 50. Saturday RAM trips are $ 40 and 90-minute lunch rentals are $ 25. Tours can be booked through artbikesjax.com.

DUNEDIN, Florida — Explore beautiful Dunedin on a guided bike tour! You can visit various cultural and historical sites around the city while you get some fresh air and enjoy a hectic ride with your friends.

Dunedin Bike Tours started in January 2020.

“I really started the tour because friends were coming to town, and I would put them in the car and take them around town,” said Russ Hilton, owner of Dunedin Bike Tours. “But when I started researching … I didn’t find anyone doing a bike tour – or even a real tour around Dunedin – so I created my own.”

RELATED | Giant Adventure: Explore Dunedin City Center

Guided tours take place on Saturdays and Sundays for people aged 13 and over. The tour includes a bike, helmet, water bottle, loot bag filled with $ 25 worth of local treats and coupons, and stops at the following locations:

The bike tour lasts 3 hours and 12 km and costs $ 50 per person (or $ 35 if you bring your own bike). For anyone worried about their endurance on the bike for this long, Hilton assures you that the tour runs at a leisurely pace.

“You don’t have to be in shape, it’s actually a very easy visit,” said Hilton. “All of our bikes are beach cruisers, so it’s very flat … all you have to do is ride.”

Dunedin Bike Tours also offers a 2 hour bike tour to Tarpon Springs and later this year they will start a haunted bike tour, which can be booked online.

Groups of up to sixteen people will receive electric bikes, disinfected helmets and a route map.

Tours will be led by a SEE Southampton guide and supported by a ‘tour assistant’.

A spokesperson for Made in: Here said: “E-bikes are extremely comfortable, easy to pedal, non-polluting and durable, and the batteries last for several hours.

With this tremendous pedal power, tour participants will be able to cover areas much larger than downtown, including Mayflower Park, Old Bowling Green and Saints Stadium among many other stopping points.

“Requirements: be 16 years +, know how to ride a bike, have a good mood and a spirit of adventure!”

The Ebike Tours take place on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at 10 a.m. from the parking lot of the Mercure Dolphin hotel and on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m.
All tours last two hours.

Pre-booking is essential on www.madeinhere.co.uk/ebiketours
Tickets cost £ 18 per person for adults and £ 16.50 for 16-18 year olds.
