About Us

Your New Capital Bike Society

Our aim is to be there for everyone who wants to enjoy cycling in the Capital Region – whether you’re new to the Region and perhaps just learning to ride, dusting off a bike that’s been the garage for a while, or an experienced rider who wants to connect with our vibrant cycling community. We want to be there to provide you with the skills, knowledge, and connections to make cycling an easy and fun transportation option.

 

Capital Bike acknowledges and respects the unceded territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ nations where we work and ride.
