Enjoy winter cycling, as a group!


We're hosting winter group rides - for real! Our focus is to host rides at a comfortable pace on clear trails, primarily for newcomers who want to find a larger community to ride, start riding in the winter or discover new trails as part of their winter cycling journey. Everyone is welcome but space will be limited based on the number of Marshals who can support. Rides will take place every second Saturday from 2-4pm on February 3rd in Meadowvale, February 17th in City Centre and March 2nd in Clarkson.


Winter rides also continue with FrostBike Mississauga! Find all cycling events and the registration details in our Cycling Events Calendar.

Winter workshops are coming...


Building on our initial workshops on Instagram Live, join us for detailed sessions at select Libraries! At these sessions we will provide information on not just cycling safety and repair but also safe walking and transit use in winter. These sessions are intended for newcomers in Mississauga who may have questions on safe mobility by any mode.


Sessions will take place Saturdays from 12-1pm on February 3rd (Meadowvale CC), 10th (Erin Meadows CC) and 17th (Central Library).

Get involved with City consultations!


Check out these opportunities to build a healthier, more active and bike-friendly Mississauga! There are many more consultations underway than the list below, so please browse the main website and consider subscribing for updates by email!


Share what you see!



Are the roads clear but the trails are snowy? Maybe the paths are plowed, but there's too much salt at the bus stops and intersections! How about the bike parking, is it available, is it good, is it clear?


Let the City know what you see!


Report your concerns, compliments and ideas by using 311 and other feedback forms on the City website. It is good to contact your local Councillor for larger concerns, too! Share pictures and videos when you can and tag us if posting on Instagram with #BikeMississauga or #FrostBike and we might just highlight you!
