Bike Week Winnipeg kicks off with Reconciliation Ride
The Bike Week Winnipeg launch ride ended at the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the U of M on June 8, 2025. (Zachary Kitchen/CTV News Winnipeg) Bike Week has officially launched in Winnipeg, with members of the public and organizers partaking in a special ride Sunday to mark the occasion. Termed Reconciliation Ride, cyclists gathered at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and peddled to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba. Bike Week Winnipeg grew out of Bike to Work Day Winnipeg, first held in 2007, and is described as a 'weeklong celebration of the bicycle and everyone that rides,' according to their website. The week-long celebration from June 8 to June 14 aims to helps change the culture of riding bikes and make it more accepted as a form of transportation. Bike to Work Day will be held on June 10. Adrian Alphonso, ride leader, said the week-long event has been the 'best way' to engage with the Winnipeg cycling community, providing different educational experiences and opportunities to learn more about cycling in the city. Alphonso said the group was able to make the roughly 10-kilometre journey entirely on infrastructure dedicated to cyclists.

Warm weather continues for North Texas with storm chances on the way
Thursday morning started out pleasant, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the upper 70s. Clouds will continue to increase throughout the day, and temperatures top out near 90 degrees. An isolated shower or storm cannot be ruled out, but there is only a 10% chance. On Friday, for Bike To Work Day, cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 70s will greet anyone out before sunrise. But it will be a hotter afternoon, with temperatures rising to the lower 90s. An isolated storm is also possible late Friday afternoon into the evening hours, mainly east of I-35. The First Alert Weather Team has declared a First Alert Weather Day for Saturday due to the threat of severe storms in the afternoon. The storms would develop along a dryline to the west and then head east through North Texas. Large hail and damaging winds would be the main threats. The unsettled and hot weather pattern continues into the start of next week; Sunday and Monday both have the potential for severe storms.
