B!KE: The Peterborough Community Cycling Hub

Go ahead and ride your bike to Peterborough Dragon Boat Festival on June 13th. B!KE and our volunteers will keep it safe at our free, supervised bike valet parking.

Celebrate the longest day of the year with a glowing evening ride by the lake.
Join us on Sunday, June 21 at 8PM for a party-pace community ride featuring illuminated bikes, good vibes, and a sunset beach hangout to close out the night.

Bring your dad, your friends, your family, or just yourself everyone’s welcome. Decorate your bike with lights, get colourful, and ride into summer with us.

Interested in volunteering at B!KE?
Join us on Thursday, June 11 at 6:30 PM for our New Volunteer Open House! This is a chance to learn more about the organization, explore current volunteer opportunities, meet the team, and ask any questions you may have about getting involved.

Whether you’re into bikes, community building, education, events, or just want to lend a hand, we’d love to meet you.

Can’t make it? Reach out and we can arrange another time to chat about volunteer opportunities.

Happy pride month from the B!KE family!🎉

The City is developing a comprehensive 15-year
Transportation Safety Program aimed at substantially reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The plan will guide how road safety improvements are prioritized and implemented in a coordinated, proactive, and sustainable way.
Building on previous initiatives such as the Transportation Master Plan, Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Policy, and speed limit reductions in school areas, the program will help shape safer streets and comfortable travel for all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers.
The success of the TSP relies on meaningful input from the community - that’s YOU! Share your experiences with road user safety and identify high-risk locations through the mapping tool and survey available at

We have some big news to share! Our Executive Director, Mark Romeril, is moving on to pursue a new opportunity. He has accepted a sustainable transportation position at the City of Hamilton, starting in early July.

Mark has been Executive Director at B!KE since 2021. During that time, his leadership at the shop has helped us to weather a pandemic and shifting conditions in the cycling industry. Mark secured funding to expand our Kids Bike Build program and bring back the Youth-Earn-A-Bike program, where young people build and earn their own bike. Under Mark’s leadership, the team at B!KE has continued to offer bike repair and cycling education in an accessible way, reaching people from all walks of life.

We are very sorry to see Mark go. He has been a solid leader, an engaged member of the community, and a good friend. But we congratulate and support him on this new adventure. We hope you will join us in wishing Mark the very best as he moves into his new position.

But also… This means we are now looking for a new Executive Director to guide our community bike shop!

We are grateful for your continued support of B!KE and biking in Peterborough.
