a photo depicting cycling in Hamilton About The Hamilton Cycling Committee


The Hamilton Cycling Committee is an advisory committee to the City of Hamilton Public Works Department.

We are comprised of citizens - including both recreational and commuter cyclists. What we have in common is a desire to make cycling safe, fun and easy in Hamilton.  Auto drivers are reminded to "Share the Road".  To further promote this message stop by any of the
bike shops in Hamilton and pick up a free "Share the Road" car magnet to spread the message (while quantities last).  In Hamilton, it is illegal to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk.

Other communities are welcome to use the following image for similar promotions:


Some of the objectives of the Hamilton Cycling Committee's mandate are:
  • To provide a liaison between cyclists and the City
  • To advise staff and Council on bicycling facilities and issues
  • To promote cycling as a feasible modality in Hamilton
  • To further cycling safety.  See the "safety" tab on the left for more tips
The Hamilton Cycling Committee meets the first Wednesday of every month at 5:00 p.m.at the Hamilton City Centre (former Eaton's Centre), room 350B. Note that the April 7, 2010 meeting is at Highview Elementary School on Queensdale Ave. We welcome those enthusiastic about cycling to drop by and attend one of our meetings.
