The Everyone Rides Initiative acknowledges that our office and programming are on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and Anishinaabe Nation, and within the lands protected by the “Dish with One Spoon” wampum agreement. We respect the Indigenous people who continue to live on this land, and recognize our responsibility to create peace and only take what we need, in accordance with the agreement.

The Everyone Rides Initiative (ERI) is committed to equity in cycling and removes the barriers that prevent people from accessing bikes and cycling as an option for transportation and fun! Our mission is to identify and remove the barriers that prevent Hamilton residents from accessing bikes and cycling. We value EQUITY, FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE, INCLUSIVITY, EMPOWERMENT and CYCLING!

    Eco-Ride Series
    Tuesday, July 28, 2026 at 06:30 PM
    When you ride a bike, do you notice your environment more? Are you curious about the ecological story of Hamilton?  We're launching a special Group Ride series in partnership with Environment Hamilton this summer. Each ride will focus on a particular layer of environmentalism in the context of our city, with routes and teaching oriented toward a specific theme. It's a great way to learn more about Hamilton's unique ecological history and challenges, all from the seat of a bicycle.
    Join us for the following two rides:
