With winter on the horizon and cold weather setting in, Markham Cycle’s 2021 season has officially ended. This year was our most interesting year yet, as we adopted a hybrid service, combining in-person programming when local restrictions allowed with virtual programming such as online webinars and youth programming. Over the summer, we secured a location to open our second community bike hub at Centennial Community Centre with help from the City of Markham. In September, both community bicycle hubs were reopened to the public with full programming after 16 months of closure due to COVID-19. We will continue to adapt our programming to the pandemic and ensure Markham Cycles keeps on building bike culture, removing barriers, and making it easier for people to start cycling.
