Turning the gears - Our beginning

In October 2021, amidst a growing demand for a university community dedicated to road cycling, a group of enthusiastic cyclists from Simon Fraser University (SFU) joined a Discord group. As the group gained momentum, it became clear that cycling was popularised at SFU and there needed to be a formal structure to support and expand SFU`s cycling activities. This led to the SFU Cycling Club`s official recognition by the Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS) in 2023. Now a fully accredited club, SFU Cycling is the cornerstone for prospective to seasoned cyclists who aspire to enjoy the sport of cycling within an uplifted community of enthusiasts.

Pedalling Forward

At the heart of the SFU Cycling Club is a vibrant community dedicated to fostering a love for cycling. Our activities revolve around organising regular bike rides that cater to various skill levels and interests. Whether you`re looking to explore scenic routes, push your limits on challenging terrains, or simply enjoy a leisurely ride with friends, there`s a spot for you in our club!

The SFU Cycling Club is not confined to the university campus. Our rides take us from the urban landscapes to the North Shore mountains, offering members a wide range of experiences. Some of our favourite itineraries include:

• Stanley Park: Known for its stunning views and gnarly “short” climb, Stanley Park is a favourite for leisurely rides and social gatherings.
• Seymour Demonstration Forest: This peaceful location offers a perfect escape into nature, with its lush greenery and car-free paths.
• Burnaby Mountain: With its challenging hills and scenic routes, the SFU campus itself provides a great training ground for cyclists of all levels.
• UBC: Riding around the UBC campus, this ride provides a speedy flat section and leg-burning hill climb. Once completed, these diverse sections provide a significant rewarding experience.

From the flats to the mountains, every ride with the SFU Cycling Club is an adventure waiting to happen.

Beyond the Rides

Beyond the rides, the SFU Cycling Club is a hub for friendship and community engagement. We provide ample opportunities for members to connect, share experiences, and build lasting relationships. Our events often extend beyond cycling, with volunteer opportunities that allow members to give back to the community while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.
