The Halifax Cycling Coalition is an organization of concerned citizens dedicated to improving cycling conditions and raising awareness of cycling issues in the Halifax Regional Municipality.
The HCC believes that increased bicycle use has the potential to
Reduce traffic congestion
Reduce HRM infrastructure spending
Improve our health
Enhance our urban environment
We want to change the circumstances that discourage bicycle use: inadequate
cycling facilities, and lack of education for both cyclists
and motorists.
