Bike Winnipeg has the privilege of riding on the roads and pathways of Treaty No. 1 Territory, along the Red, Assiniboine, Seine, and LaSalle Rivers. Our work takes place on the original lands and waters of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak/Nehethowuk, Anisininew, Dakota Oyate, and Dënësułiné Peoples, as well as on the homeland of the Red River Métis Nation.
