From the Beehive 104 - Active Transportation: or Mike on a Bike

Join Mike from St. Thomas Economic Development for a fun and informative ride through the city's growing network of multi-use paths including the Whistlestop Trail! Along the way, Mike runs into Councillor Steve Wookey, who shares his passion for accessible active transportation and the community vision behind the trail system. They talk about how walking, biking, and rolling (in all forms) support physical and mental wellness — and how every new path adds value to life in St. Thomas.

Then, Mike meets up with local cyclist Harrison Cole for a scenic spin around town and a hands-on demo of the city’s new bike lockers near the St. Thomas Public Library. Learn how to use the Movatic app to safely store your ride while you explore downtown — maybe even stop for a pint at Caps Off Brewing 🍻.

✨ Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist, a casual walker, or just curious about how St. Thomas is planning for a more connected, people-powered future — this video’s for you.
