}}Bike Calgary is a member-based non-profit organization advocating for and promoting transportation cycling with over 1,300 members, based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.[1]

History

Bike Calgary was formed as an informal group of cyclists in 2005 and at first existed mainly as a website that served to disseminate information on cycling in Calgary, and incorporated as a non-profit society in 2008. In 2011, under the guidance of CivicCamp, Bike Calgary began to take on a broader advocacy role.[2][3]

Initiatives

Bike Calgary lobbied Calgary Transit to allow folding bicycles on buses and trains at all times, which it now does.[4] It has also been involved in the implementation of Calgary's Cycling Strategy.[5]

In 2014, it led a successful campaign to implement a pilot network of protected bike lanes in Downtown Calgary and the Beltline.[6]

Cycling courses

Bike Calgary has developed and offers a one-day Urban Cycling Skills course for a nominal fee. It is based on the CAN-BIKE curriculum.[7][8]
