Welcome to www.cyclehalifax.ca
Official homepage of the Halifax Cycling Coalition
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.
Herring Cove Road Conversion Proposal
Halifax Regional Municipality is currently debating the implementation of a lane reduction on Herring Cove Road, allowing for the creation of two new on-street bike lanes. Find out more and what you can do to support this proposal.
Thanks to everyone who came out to play on car-free streets at the Open Street Party on Sunday, May 30th: families, vendors, participants, demonstrators and volunteers!
Cycling in Halifax can sometimes be tricky, luckily HRM has produced a bike map that shows you what routes are better for beginners and what routes are for riders of intermediate skill levels. Take a chance to check out HRM's bike map and plan your own urban path today!
On Tuesday, June 9, 2009 the Halifax Cycling Coalition (HCC) executed a count of cyclists in the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). The Bike Count report details the results of the count. It contains information on the number of cyclists at 12 intersections, as well as information on their behaviour. The report and its appendix are here.

Workshop Resources and Report - Changing Gears: Increasing Young People Cycling in Nova Scotia
The number of young people who cycle to school, recreational activities and just for fun has plummeted in the past two decades. The result has been less active kids and troubling health and obesity trends. A workshop in March 2010 discussed how to change this. Workshop materials and the report are here.
HCC's
