Help us change the conversation about cycling in Waterloo Region
We all feel it – growing momentum for cycling in our community. On beautiful summer days, the trails are crowded and in the winter we regularly see people on bicycles.
The Region and the cities have been making significant progress on safe, connected infrastructure. CycleWR has been busy pushing for greater action and changing the way projects are prioritized and designed. In 2020, at the Ontario Bike Summit, we were awarded Best Organization for “changing the conversation.” We will continue to advocate for all the factors that will enable a vibrant cycling community for all. Learn more about CycleWR and the progress we have made by amplifying, promoting and celebrating cycling throughout Waterloo Region.
