WANTED: Cycle Therapy Content

Attention all bike enthusiasts and writers! We are currently seeking contributors for the next issue of CycleTherapy. If you have a passion for cycling and a talent for the written word, we want to hear from you!

DEADLINE: May 7th, 2023

We are looking for articles and features on various topics that fit the issue’s theme, “Has Greater Victoria become a cycling utopia?”.
Topics could include but are not limited to:

• Accessibility in cycling (this could be from a cultural perspective, ie, families cycling, vulnerable people riding, or from an infrastructure perspective)
• The cargo bike/e-bike culture shift (ie new shops that cater specifically to these groups and how they’re surviving/thriving)
• how Victoria compares to other Canadian cities/regions
• Where it all started: the history of cycling in Victoria/Galloping Goose
• First-person account/anecdotal story: how riding changed your life
• Programs/services that support cycling around the region (GBBW, lockers, sticker challenge, Downtown bike valet)
• Call-to-action: what still needs to happen – critical issues, critical barriers, Land-use and development

Whether you’re an experienced rider or just starting out, we want your unique perspective and insights!

We’re also looking for:

• Great Photos
• Art
• Puzzles
• Poetry
• And other creative endeavours!
