Bike Winnipeg Publications

Bike Winnipeg has consistently advocated for better cycling facilities and programs at the civic, provincial, and federal level. As the City of Winnipeg’s leading advocate for cyclists, we’ve also worked tirelessly to increase the awareness of cycling in Winnipeg & Manitoba and encourage more people to ride more often.
