If it wasn’t for Mike Jamieson, Joe Mamma Cycles wouldn’t exist. Mike was a founding partner in the shop and was instrumental in the companies beginning. After taking the company on solo he still remained a valued friend.
Hats off to Mike for his leadership and willingness to help whenever he can.
💚 Some people volunteer for a season. Others make it part of the rhythm of their lives. 🚲
This month, we're honoured to share Mike Jamieson's story.
Mike has served as a ride leader, skating volunteer, Board Director, and former Board President with Trips for Kids Ottawa. When asked what impressed him most, he didn't mention the trails or bikes, but the young people.
Watching youth from the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre encourage one another, celebrate each other's successes, and experience the freedom of being outdoors reminded Mike that our programs are about so much more than cycling. They create space for confidence, connection, healing, and hope.
As Mike puts it:
"I simply can't imagine not doing it. What could I possibly be doing that's more worthwhile?"
We hope you'll take a few minutes to read Mike's story and see why Trips for Kids Ottawa is part of his life's rhythm.

Thank you, Mike, for making Trips for Kids Ottawa part of your life, and for helping so many young people find confidence, connection, and joy in simply being outdoors together. 💚
