The Mayor\u2019s Bike Ride and children\u2019s Rodeo took place on Thursday, and what a beautiful
day it was in Huntsville. The crowd was full of excitement and a love of cycling. <\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cThe Mayor’s Bike Ride has always supported policy areas around active transportation living,\u201d said Huntsville Mayor Nancy Alcock. \u201cIt promotes a healthy community and safe community,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community event, held in partnership with local cycling organizations, businesses, and the Ontario Provincial Police, brings together riders of all ages to promote bike safety, active transportation, and healthy living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s event took place at the Canada Summit Centre and featured activities geared toward both young riders and experienced cyclists. The Kids\u2019 Bike Rodeo gave children between the ages of four and nine the opportunity to practice important cycling skills through obstacle courses and safety challenges designed to improve braking, turning, and maneuvering abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, residents joined Mayor Alcock for the annual Mayor\u2019s Bike Ride through Huntsville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Alcock said the event is about more than recreation, noting that cycling helps build confidence, independence, and community connection while encouraging healthier lifestyles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is also tied to the Town\u2019s \u201cGear Up for Kids\u201d initiative, a program aimed at helping local youth gain access to bicycles and safety equipment. Community sponsors and donors contribute bikes and gear to children who may not otherwise have access to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combined Mayor’s Bike Ride and Rodeo brings together families, volunteers, community groups, and local businesses in support of active transportation and road safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Huntsville OPP reminded motorists and cyclists alike to share the road safely, especially during the busy summer cycling season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mayor\u2019s Bike Ride and Kids\u2019 Bike Rodeo are held annually as part of Bike Month celebrations in Huntsville.<\/p>\n\n\n
