Face it: competitve cycling is no different than car racing when it comes to crashes.  Awful – but we can’t turn away.

HEAVEN ON EARTH, aka SALT SPRING ISLAND

From the Velo-City Conference:

Don’t miss the Velo Village pre-event on beautiful Salt Spring Island.

Velo Village is celebrating rural cycling from June 21-23, 2012. Salt Spring Island, located in the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver and Vancouver Island, will be bicycle heaven on earth – the most welcoming place on the planet to be on a bike.

There will be fun, games and a knowledge exchange. In addition to bicycle-themed performances, art exhibits, workshops, and a specially chartered bicycle-only ferry on June 23rd, Velo Village will host a one-day conference focused on cycling and rural mobility.
ECF Secretary General Dr. Bernhard Ensink is already familiar with Salt Spring Island. Read about his previous visit here.

For more information, and help with planning your travel, visit the Velo Village website.
