New Atlantic Pedaler Magazine offering Local Cycling Awards

A new online Atlantic Canada Cycling magazine is up and running. Atlantic Pedaler is the brain-child of Ken Trenholm of Summerside, P.E.I.. Trenholm's passion for cycling was evident this past year as he organized the Annual P.E.I. Biking for Breakfast 260 km tip-to-tip fundraiser, founded the Summerside Cycling Club, and was elected President of Cycling P.E.I. in November . . . now Trenholm is taking on a new bicycle-powered challenge: a 100 per cent Atlantic Canada online cycling magazine.

"One of the goals of this magazine is to be inclusive to all types of cycling disciplines (road, mountain, bmx, cyclo-cross, touring, recreational, racing, para) in the hopes of offering a uniformed voice for Maritime cyclists," says Trenholm. Trenholm defines "inclusive" to translate into the need for the cycling community to look at cycling being something in-addition-to racing such as recreational, touring, and commuting. And for each type of cycling to be valued for what it offers to the total Maritime body of cycling.

Atlantic Pedaler offers original Maritime opinions and articles, free bi-weekly electronic newsletter, local profiles of riders and clubs, web news feeds, as well as launching a number of Awards. Visit Atlantic Pedaler at www.atlanticpedaler.com.
