Spring Social, Saturday April 18, 2026 3:00-5:00pm

Come chat with us about biking with kids: it’s a meet and greet for the Halifax family cycling community!

Ride and chat on the oval (not yet open for the season)
Check out some of our community member cargo bikes, and find out how they use them day-to-day
Buy and sell kids bikes & accessories
Test-ride an e-bike from Halifax Cycles
Have a bike checked (and minor adjustments) by the Ecology Action Centre’s Pop-up Bike Hub
We’ll have sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and colouring pages to keep the kids amused.
We’ll provide hot chocolate, juice boxes and snacks
Bring a food donation for our local community fridges, and help us “stuff a bike”. We’ll fill the Bike Brigade cargo bike with food for those who need it.
If we need to cancel due to weather conditions, we will post a notice on this website by 12:00 noon. The rain date is Sunday April 19.
Please help protect our community from illnesses such as COVID-19. Our rides and activities take place entirely outdoors, but we share outdoor public space with many others. Mask-wearing is welcomed. Please stay home if you feel unwell or have any symptoms of illness.
