The purpose of rural CoTranspo is to encourage a ‘ spiritual shift’ in the means by which we move ourselves to places. That shift involves using the body, the mind, and the spiritual intention to plan errands/trips,etc with a friendly machine, like a bicycle. The purpose of the Community Bike Space is to
- Make bikes available for all persons, particularly those who need an affordable bike
- Provide cycle sustenance,simple maintenance information, and safety education
- Network with similar initiatives in Eastern Ontario – through a diocesan connection (i.e. Bike to Church … sojourning, bike blessings and support)
The first stop in the network is the Mississippi Mills Community Bike Space hosted by the parish of St. Paul’s Almonte: Bike Space – Parish of St. Paul’s
