Pedal with Pride 2025

Pedal with Pride 2025 is an event intended for members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community aged 15 or older. It is a fun-filled day of mountain biking for folks completely new to the sport and for beginners who already bike. No prior experience is needed — just a sense of adventure!

We will start the day with a lesson by Dialed In Cycling, followed by a lunch and a social ride on the world-class trails here in Squamish, BC led by HILLTOP MTB. Bikes provided for this event will be “hardtail” mountain bikes (with front suspension, no rear suspension).

Adaptive riders are welcome. Please message c2llcnJhIHwgc29yY2EgISBjYQ== if you would like to attend.

This year, we are expanding the event to include two groups: Introductory and Beginner.

• Introductory: Folks who are comfortable on a commuter, road, or gravel bike, but have never touched a mountain bike or have been on a mountain bike less than 5 times

• Beginner: Folks who have been on a mountain bike and are comfortable on green trails, OR anyone willing to be a little more adventurous and put themselves out there!

There will be a prize draw, with an assortment of bike apparel generously donated by Dharco and 7mesh.

Registration closes June 7th with limited spots available - sign up today!
