North Shore Hikers Cycling

We're a volunteer-run group built on one simple idea: riding is better with people who know the roads and know your name.

WHAT WE DO
Road cycling · Social rides · Fitness rides · Scenic cruises · Group challenges

WHERE WE RIDE
Most rides explore the Metro Vancouver Lower Mainland — Vancouver Downtown, North Shore, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Surrey and White Rock. In summer, we venture farther into the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, Whistler and Pemberton on multi-day cycling adventures.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• All rides are clearly rated by pace, distance, and difficulty so you can pick the right fit
• Welcoming groups where no one gets dropped and no one is left behind
• Everyone is expected to watch out for each other - this is a group ride and not a race
• The chosen routes could be on road, off road and mostly follow bike paths.
• Always ride single file and use hand signals, bell or voice when passing
• Obey all traffic signs and yield to pedestrians - safety is the key

GETTING STARTED IS EASY

1. Join a ride. It's free. Browse upcoming events, pick one that matches your pace, and RSVP.
2. Waiver. For everyone's protection, participants sign and agree this waiver before the ride begins.
3. Photos & privacy. Don't tag people in photos without permission.
4. Be prepared. You must ride a well maintained bike with bell, front/back lights and mirror. You must wear a helmet when you ride with the group. You must bring a repair kit with a working pump and be self sufficient to fix a flat tire, or you have BCAA coverage in case you could not continue the ride with the group. Bring water, snacks, and dress properly for the weather, and choose rides that match your current fitness.
5. Learn about our values and code of conduct.
