The Strong Towns Richmond Hill (STRH) Bike Club is a welcoming and inclusive community for anyone interested in cycling in our city.

Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or just getting started, STRH Bike Club offers a space to connect with others, build confidence on two wheels, and explore Richmond Hill in a new way. Our club is open to riders of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels—from seasoned commuters to those who are just learning how to ride.

Looking to start biking to school or work? We’ve got tips, support, and group rides to help you feel safe and prepared. Want to make quick trips to grab groceries or run errands without a car? We’ll show you how easy and fun it can be. Or maybe you just want to enjoy recreational weekend rides, discover new trails, and meet other friendly folks who love cycling—this is the perfect place for that too.

At STRH Bike Club, we believe in promoting cycling as a practical, sustainable, and joyful mode of transportation. We organize group rides, workshops, advocacy events, and social gatherings that celebrate biking and help make our city more bike-friendly for everyone.

So no matter your reason for riding—transportation, fitness, fun, or freedom—come ride with us. Together, we’re building stronger, safer, and more connected communities, one pedal stroke at a time.
