Celebration Stations and Community Stations

Celebrations Stations are our most popular in-person activations during events. They are high-energy places where the community can visit to receive free basic bike maintenance, cycling information, and resources for a safe and happy ride.

Each station offers snacks and coffee (morning stations only)!

About Gravel Buddies: 

Gravel Buddies group started after we recognized the need for more gravel riding. Riding trails is about connecting with nature and finding calm areas around the city. People are often curious and want to explore more, but solo riding is not for everyone and let’s be honest, most of us want to ride with a buddy.

We try to meet at least one weekend a month, each time picking a different place to ride to. This way we can explore as much as possible. Multiple times a month we also ride on Tuesday evenings in Stanley Park.
We try to advise the difficulty of each ride beforehand so you can plan accordingly. Some rides are longer, with various types of terrain, but all of them are no-drop.

Our rides are for women, gender diverse, LGBTQIA2s+ or anyone who feels marginalized within the cycling community.
