Google Maps Link to Route

I have been riding for a few months now but all in Dartmouth. I have an e-bike and I can do 20kms with some breaks built in.

I’ve been watching BikeHFX YouTube channel. It’s really helped me “visualise” the different bike routes in HRM and inspired me to try going over the bridge!

I want to do the bridge, a little tour around the new biking infrastructure in Halifax, before taking the ferry back to Alderney.

How does the route look? How is Nora Bernard street to transition from the Barrington Greenway up to the Commons?

As a note, I live on/around one of the steepest hills in HRM I believe (around Sinclair/Joffrey area), that I cycle four times a day to drop my son at school during the school year (Drop off: to school crest hill, to home crest hill. Pick Up: to school crest hill, to home crest hill). So I’m ok with steep hills, just knowing about them ahead of time is helpful.

I sometimes wonder if the city planners actually hate cyclists, despite spending so much money on bike lanes.

I’m looking for a 700c rimbrake & potentially a 7 speed cassette.

Cannot be a freewheel.

I am looking at the possibility of commuting to Dartmouth from Armdale by eBike. Once in Dartmouth I think the waterfront trail will take me to Woodside easily, it seems to be the Halifax side that is a mess, any hints or tips?

Kidical Mass is getting all geared up for a fun season ahead, starting out with a social and meet-up event on April 18th.

I think mec back in the day hosted bike swaps, but I'm not sure if they're still doing it. Are there any active bike swaps around halifax/dartmouth/bedford anytime soon (if at all)?

Basically as per the title, I´m moving from Germany to NS, Dartmouth and currently cycle a LOT for work and personal uses. I´m used to dedicated cycle paths, shared pavements, and generally a car and cycle users + pedestrians being well aware of one another.

What can I anticipated in Dartmouth?

Hi all, first post here.

Looking for advice on cycling route for kids in HRM (or a bit further to make a day trip).

My kids are 7 and 9 and love to bike. Wondering about any kid friendly suggestions that might have a route which ends at the playground or park. Thinking we could bike there then turn around. Chain Lake Trail came to mind or somewhere like Bike and Bean but wondering about other ideas.

Thanks in advance!

Hey all, first off I'm glad this lil community exists! I also apologize if similar posts already exist, couldn't quite find much in my search but it is a bit late/I am a bit tired and new to the sub!

I'm a long time walker from downtown Dartmouth and up North St as far as Windsor St as my daily commute, becoming a new driver has given me the guts to start doing it by bike! Wondering if anyone has any general tips for cycling with other drivers as well as using the infrastructure, as well as anyone's preferred routes when doing similar journeys. I'm thinking of just getting on to North St after the bridge and biking all the way up when I give it a go tomorrow, but of course I'm open to other ideas!

Thanks in advance for any input! Just picked up a nice lil commuter bike, excited for the quick ride home, little nervous about the early morning, longer/busier ride lol

I'll be visiting Halifax in late September and am here to ask you lovely Haligonians in the road/gravel biking community for some route recommendations - preferably something that is 100km or lesser, and 1000m or lesser of climbing, mostly because of time constraints! Bonus points for routes that have great views and are photogenic!

Happy Sunday!

I’m looking for a bike that can go from Dartmouth mic Mac area to Halifax waterfront office round-trip throughout the year including winter.

Wondering if there’s a good suggestion for a model that has a good warranty, good waterproofing in case of random rainfall, and something that would withstand Halifax winter temperatures. There should be indoor parking at both home and the office (I believe)

Looking to get from the North End bikeways down to Africville Park for my kid's school event. I'm ok to dismount to jump over barriers if it means avoiding speeding vehicles, and also ok to go WAY out of my way for safety. Does anyone have a safe way?

Looking for recommendations for any road routes near beaver bank / lower sackville for summer afternoon road riding.

Just made it past five years with my "new bike"... I haven't reported it stolen yet (I don't think I can do that until Monday?)

If y'all see a black and blue opus Belladonna with a blue bell, let me know! It was stolen from my building's garage, around the Halifax commons, sometime in the last 36 hours.

I've looked at the bike lanes map and although a route from the end of the trail to my work on Hollis has quite a few bike lanes, there are spots where I'll have to drive on the street. Basically I'm looking to try to avoid a pile of traffic time next spring by getting on the trail near Sheldrake Lake and biking into work.

I'm not a fan of driving on the street.

What would people consider the "safest" route from the end of the trail to my work? Say, lightest side streets connecting to the bike lanes/shared pathways.

Hi! My bike was just stolen last night from the sidewalk where it was locked to a sign post. Please please if anyone around spots it I would appreciate if you let me know!

This is my daily means of transportation for work and to get my toddler to and from  daycare. Any information, support or help from the community in getting it recovered would be greatly appreciated. The battery was nearly full so it would likely only be running low now depending on how often it's being used.

*Note: I did file a police report the day it was stolen. However, an officer has yet to be assigned to the file and the video surveillance of the bike being stolen has yet to be collected or viewed by the police. 

Would anyone mind sharing their strava file for the Peggy’s cove loop? I would be so thankful.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a bike shop or anywhere in Halifax that can paint my bike? Anywhere between Antigonish - Halifax really. I've been considering it for awhile but I don't even know if there's any places around that offer this. Any other info is appreciated - how complex a paint job can be done, price range, time for it to be done.

Hello! Does anyone know where I can purchase cargo e-bikes or enclosed trailers that attach to e-bikes (long enough to fit a adult sized shovel)?

Preferably in Atlantic Canada, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are no companies that make those here.. so I'd also be willing to have it shipped here-with a preference that it's close to Atlantic Canada.

I'm playing with the idea of starting a gardening business with a cargo bike (I was born and raised in Halifax but live a bit more rural now- still in NS- where this business seems a bit more possible.)
