This is an event for cyclist and bird enthusiasts

A nature and arts loving group of cyclists plan to celebrate the daily migration of thousands of crows into Burnaby.

On Saturday afternoon, a bike ride is planned to follow the migrating crows as they make their daily way to an area in the Willingdon Avenue and Still Creek Drive area of Burnaby.

The Crow Roost Twilight Bike Ride is organized by the Still Moon Arts Society.

Cyclists are being asked to meet at the Lakewood Drive Central Valley Greenway location at 4 p.m. Saturday.

Carmen Rosen, the artistic director of Still Moon Arts, said they will ride over to the Renfrew SkyTrain station to pick up other cyclists at 4:15 p.m. and then ride down to the area at Willingdon and Still Creek where the birds stay overnight.

Rosen said early February is prime time to see the huge flocks of crows. The numbers decrease by the end of the month once the birds nest.

“It is an amazing phenomenon,” said Rosen of the crows flying down to the area around Willingdon and Still Creek each day.

“The ride takes place just prior to their nesting season so there will be big numbers.

The bike race will go on in Philadelphia, despite the recent cancellation of a cycling competition held in the city for almost three decades.

U.S. Rep. Bob Brady said Thursday that the new 2013 race will be called the Philly Cycling Classic. He says it’s being organized by a team of sports event professionals, cycling advocates and local business and community leaders.

More details are expected in coming weeks.

The Pro Cycling Tour announced last week that the Philadelphia International Cycling Championship would not be held in 2013 due to rising city costs and loss of sponsors.

The annual summertime event, held in the city since 1985, featured a 156-mile championship held over a 14.5-mile course from the Benjamin Franklin Parkway through the nearby community of Manayunk.
