Community bike hubs are welcoming spaces that aim to <\/span>break <\/span> down <\/span> barriers <\/span> that <\/span> prevent <\/span> people <\/span> from <\/span>beginning and continuing to cycle; this often includes <\/span>accessing a bike, maintaining a bike, knowing how to <\/span>ride, and having people to ride with. All programs <\/span>offered at community bike hubs are either free or low-<\/span>cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Since 2014, The Centre for Active Transportation (TCAT) has been harnessing community bike hubs to incubate cycling in the suburbs. Altogether, TCAT has launched six community bike hubs in Peel Region, Scarborough, Markham, and Newmarket.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In 2023, 10 bike hubs from across the province gathered at the Ontario Bike Summit in Hamilton. At the Summit, Ontario-based community bike hub operators and programmers came together to share their work, discuss common barriers and challenges, and discuss collaboration opportunities. One goal coming out of this gathering was to understand our collective impact across Ontario. Check out this document summarizing the impact of six bike hubs in Ontario.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
