Markham Cycling Day is York Region’s largest public cycling event that offers a safe and fun cycling experience for people of all ages and riding abilities. The annual event features two major components the Tour de Markham community rides and the Children’s Bike Races for young cyclists from ages 3 to 10 years.
Markham Cycles is York Region’s first community bike hub located at Milliken Mills Community Centre (in the rear parking lot) and at Centennial Community Centre. They offer free programs and workshops to anyone who is interested.
This committee was established in the early 2000s to advise Markham City staff and City Council on matters related to cycling and walking. With representatives from the public, outside organizations and Council Members, the committee advocates for a safe walking and cycling city for all, and encourages more people to bike and walk through education and promotion. Committee meetings are held every three months and they are open to the general public.
