Gear up for this season’s Community Rides

Ready to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather? This season, explore your city on two wheels. From May to October, the City is hosting free, guided community bike rides in different neighbourhoods throughout the city. Residents can join a ride and get comfortable riding on different paths while meeting others in the community and staying active.

Bring your bike and helmet. If you don’t have one, consider renting one of the City’s shared e-bikes.

Join the Bike Challenge

The Bike Challenge is a fun way to get active while giving back to your community. To join, simply log the kilometres you ride on your bike from now until Wednesday, September 30. Your entry will be added to the total.

For every 50 kilometres you log, the City will plant one tree to count towards the One Million Trees program. Consider joining the City’s Community Rides, renting an e-bike or finding a new trail to ride to help you gain more distance. Log your distance.

At the end of the Bike Challenge, the City will host a tree planting event. Details will be shared at a later date.
