We don’t expect many people to show up with this weather.
Amanda Whittingham, Sustainability Coordinator at Fanshawe College
‘Bike to campus day’, an initiative organised by the Fanshawe College Sustainability office in collaboration with the city of London. Today on Car-Free day, students and staff are asked to come to the campus on their bikes instead of taking their cars.

Everything seemed to go perfectly as planned, until the weather decided to change things up. The steady wind and the continuous change between sun and rain, made it clear that many students and staff would come by car anyway. Yet there were some individuals who went through all the wind and rain to proudly show their bikes and get them fixed if needed.
There are many reasons to encourage cycling!
Daniel Hall, Active Transportation Manager at City of London
Getting to campus by bike can be harder than most think, especially for those that are new to the area. Google maps is always a good option, but for those who want to make sure that there is an actual bike path present, there is always a map on the website of the City of London, with all the bike paths marked.
