Safer Roads
for All
Can you imagine a future where every cycling journey—and every interaction with other road users—is safe and respectful? Where more of Ontario’s roads and communities have safer places to ride? Where our governments invest in infrastructure, legislation and cycling programs that make our roads safer for all? That’s the vision behind the Share the Road Ride.
Cycling connects us to our communities in unique and powerful ways. It’s more than just a mode of transportation—it’s freedom, joy, and independence. But today, too many cyclists face unsafe conditions on Ontario’s roads. This ride is about changing that.
​
By participating in the Share the Road Ride, you’re helping to create safer roads and communities for cyclists. Funds raised will directly support Share the Road’s mission, from advancing safer cycling infrastructure to delivering education campaigns and advocating for meaningful change.
​
This event honors OPP Sergeant Greg Stobbart, whose tragic death while cycling in 2006 inspired the creation of the Share the Road Cycling Coalition. Greg’s story serves as a powerful reminder of why we ride—to create safer roads for everyone, ensuring no other families have to face such devastating loss.

Share the Road Cycling Coalition
​​Over the past 18 years, Share the Road has driven significant progress for safer cycling across Ontario. Our advocacy has led to landmark achievements, including the introduction of the 1m safe passing law, Canada’s first Vulnerable Road User legislation in 2017, the development of #CycleON: Ontario's Cycling Strategy, and the allocation of over $125 million in provincial cycling infrastructure funding for municipalities.
More recently, we have voiced strong concerns about Bill 212, providing data directly to the provincial government to emphasize the critical importance of bike lanes in saving lives, enhancing livability, and reducing congestion. And we’re mobilizing to mitigate the impacts of this kind of legislative change.
We’ve accomplished a lot, but there’s still so much more to do to make Ontario’s roads safer for everyone.
By joining the Share the Road Ride, you’re helping us continue this important work and move closer to a future where every cyclist feels safe, every driver is informed, and every road user is respected.
