The 4th year of Sustainable Food Edmonton & Edmonton Bicycle Commuters community garden bicycle tours are here! Discover the people power and plants production in some community gardens in Edmonton. Each garden will have a host to share the stories of their garden – how the garden operates, how it came to be, and its impact on the local community.
Each tour will visit a different route with approximately 12-14 kms of leisurely riding. You must be comfortable with on-road cycling (light traffic only). Experienced cyclists will lead and tail.
Please bring your own:
- well-maintained bicycle
- helmet (mandatory for under 18; recommended for 18+)
- bike lock
- appropriate clothing (tour runs rain or shine!)
- sun protection & bug protection
- water, lunch & snack
- optional: cash for the farmers market
Registration is FREE but required and you will be asked to sign a waiver and photo permission form before participating.
