PEDAl POLL/SONDO VÉLO

Pedal Poll/Sondo Vélo 2024 is taking place June 4 to 9.

The count is a chance to evaluate the state of cycling in our communities. Together we get a “snapshot” of what cycling looks like in communities across Canada, at the same time, year over year.

The data collected helps build the case for more, and better, cycling infrastructure. This growing data set is there for everyone to use to advocate for access to safe cycling choices for everyone, everywhere.
