Building a bike-friendly city

Waterloo earned Platinum Bicycle Friendly Community in September 2026, the highest award from the Share the Road Cycling Coalition. Waterloo and Ottawa were the first cities in Ontario to earn this award. In 2018, Waterloo was also the first mid-sized city in Ontario to earn Gold status.
