Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition

Can you imagine a protected bike lane on Oak Bay Ave? We can! There are two meetings this week to learn more and voice your support

We got to chat biking with Dean Murdock of Amazing Places - have a listen

Jill Croft was a long time bike rider, supporter of more kids biking, one of the GVCC's earliest members and so much more. Her loss is keenly felt and thanks to the Community Association of Oak Bay, one of her biggest passions is being honoured with new bike repair stands and bike skills courses so others can experience the joy of biking as she did

An overpass at Sooke Rd near Wale Rd? Amazing. Thanks and good luck to Colwood on their grant application

Can you imagine safer local streets to walk and bike on? We can and there's a way to get it: a 30 km/h speed limit pilot. But we need your help, as right now the plan is for 40 km/h. Read on our website for details and how to send an email to your council in support

Newly reopened Todd Creek Trestle out on the Goose is a sight to behold, so we headed out there last weekend to check out the massive amount of work it took to make this structure safe to ride again. Kudos and thanks to the Capital Regional District for making the trail complete again
