Cycling Experiences 2024
Nova Scotia by Bike, in partnership with Halifax Cycling Coalition, aims to provide a more supportive environment for cyclists by offering a holistic approach that combines skill development and practical experience. Through a series of interactive, hands-on workshops focused on essential bike maintenance – including air, brake, and chain repairs – participants not only gain the confidence to maintain their own bikes but also acquire the skills necessary to ensure their safety and longevity. These workshops are complemented by two types of guided group rides. The “urban” rides, which cover distances under 10KM, are designed to help cyclists build confidence navigating city streets, becoming familiar with bike – friendly routes, and learning safe cycling practices in busy urban settings. The “adventure” rides, which extend to distances of 20KM or more, take participants beyond the city into rural areas, providing opportunities to experience the scenic landscapes of Nova Scotia and push their cycling endurance. Together, these components aim to empower cyclists of all levels, creating a welcoming space for both beginners and seasoned riders to expand their skills and enjoy a greater sense of community.
