Discover Mississauga like never before on a Community Bike Ride

We often see our city through the windshield of a car and miss so much in the process. So, why not discover Mississauga on two wheels, make new friends and strengthen your ties with the community by joining the City’s Community Rides as part of Mississauga’s 50th anniversary? The guided bike rides are free and are a wonderful way to discover Mississauga’s neighbourhoods while staying active. All you need is a bike and a helmet! So, come on out and join in the fun!

Starting Saturday, May 4, Community Rides will be taking place every two weeks until the end of October. Rides are for all ages and cycling ability levels, and happen in different Mississauga neighbourhoods. They are between eight and 16 kilometres. If you can’t make it to one of the rides, you can still cycle the routes at your convenience using our online route map.

Mississauga 50 for 50

As part of Mississauga’s 50th anniversary, we are encouraging residents to give back to the community by participating in the 50 for 50 challenge. You can do your part by showing your appreciation for the benefits of cycling – whether you bike 50 kilometres or bike for 50 minutes to help reduce your carbon emissions or simply stay active. Once you complete the challenge, download your 50 for 50 certificate to show off your civic pride.
