This summer, Elm City Cycling compiled and distributed a questionnaire to 2013 New Haven Mayoral Primary Candidates, in order to consolidate information about the candidates for the general public. Candidates were asked to reply to the questionnaire by August 18th, 2013.

Elm City Cycling received two responses as of Sept 5th, from candidates Justin Elicker who replied on August 16th (attached) and Henry Fernandez, who replied on September 4th (attached). Please note that Elm City Cycling is a non-profit and does not advocate for any candidate or political party.

Volunteers from Elm City Cycling with girls from the Farnham Neighborhood House

Volunteers from Elm City Cycling conducted a five-week bicycle safety program for seven girls in conjunction with the Farnham Neighborhood House. The girls learned bicycle inspection, basic rules of the road, and safe handling. The group took two rides on the Farmington Canal Trail before a ride on city streets from the Farnham House to Quinnipiac River Park.

May might be National Bike Month, but June is Bike Month in New Haven! The annual International Festival of Arts & Ideas kicks off this weekend and as in years past, riders from Elm City Cycling will be leading a series of bicycle tours in conjunction with the festival. See the full schedule at the Festival website.
