Short Title: NACCC & Future Fair Full Title and Description: North American Cycle Courier Championships & Future Fair 2001 Feat: Rob Taylor & Friend In July 2001, the Associated Cycle Messengers of Edmonton (ACME) hosted the North American Cycle Courier Championships on the beautiful, car-free University of Alberta grounds. Biker Bill of ACME invited the Edmonton Bicycle Commuters Society to participate. He also invited Barb Allard of RBCC to create an environmental presence at the championships. Barb was becoming very concerned about climate change and energy issues, given the recent publication of the IPCCs Third Assessment Report on the worlds climate. She invited the Solar Energy Society of Canada, Northern Alberta Chapter (SolarAlberta) and some other local environmental groups and the Sustainable Future Fair was born. This event was the precursor to the first ever Bikeology Festival in June 2002, and the expansion to the month-long celebration we know today as Edmontons Bike Month in June.
