    ABOUT US

    Bike Niagara is a new community service organization, formed by a group of local Cycling enthusiasts interested in helping people get started on bike riding, promoting safe cycling and improving the capability of cyclists.

    Bike Niagara was conceived in 2011, when four friends (Ted Higgins, Dave Hunt, Walt Berg and Gary Murphy) decided they wanted to create an organization dedicated to giving cycling advice to residents of the Niagara Region.
