PtboPics: Mountain Bike Movie Premiere "Strength In Numbers" At Splice

 The Mountain Bike movie by Anthill Films, Strength In Numbers, premiered in Peterborough on Saturday night at Splice to an enthusiastic crowd.

 

Numerous models of Trek Bikes were on display from Wild Rock, and be sure to drop in there to learn more about which line suits your riding style.

Mike Watt, owner of The Plush Boutique, was on hand to show off the new line of Levi's 511 Commuter Line which are perfect for cyclists. Water resistant, 3M Reflective Tape on the interior cuffs, and pockets with features galore sure show Levi's dedication at gearing this to cyclists.

PTBOCanada Pics: Peterborough Bikefest

Cooler weather and the chance of rain didn't stop people from heading down to Millennium Park in Peterborough for Bikefest 2012 yesterday. Local shops Wild Rock and B!ke: The Community Cycling Hub were there to help give free tune-ups for bicycles.

Free swag and information about safer cycling were abundant, as well as lots of chat about future plans that the City of Peterborough hopes to implement to make for a more cycling-friendly city.

Read more about the event over at Trail Swag.

No Spring Peterborough Police Auction This Year

Each year, there are two Peterborough Community Police Auctions where seized items are sold off (including numerous bicycles) and the money earned goes toward a number of charitable causes.

This year, however, there weren't enough items to warrant an auction, so there will only be the fall event on Saturday, September 15th, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. in the rear parking lot of Police Headquarters at 500 Water Street.
