Bike Month

Bike Month is an opportunity for people to try riding a bike for the first time, learn new skills, or simply have fun and connect with new people.

June 1 to 30, 2025

Bike Month is rolling back to Oakville this June!

Celebrate the joy of cycling during Bike Month 2025 with a month-long program of events that inspire, connect, and empower our community. From engaging webinars and hands-on workshops to family-friendly rides and neighbourhood meet-ups, Bike Month offers residents of all ages opportunities to embrace active transportation and explore cycling as a fun, safe, and sustainable way to get around.

This year’s celebration is brought to life thanks to the collaboration with Oakville Public Library (OPL), CycleTO, CAN-BIKE, and other local community partners, supporting activities that not only promote cycling skills and safety but also encourage a shift towards more connected, healthier, and climate-friendly communities.

Whether you’re discovering a new route, joining a bike rodeo, or learning about the broader impact of cycling through our virtual sessions, Bike Month is your invitation to be part of Oakville’s cycling culture.
