Bike the Creek is a FREE event aimed at encouraging people of all ages to discover the joys of cycling.

The theme for 2020 is Environmentally Sustainable Communities.
Did you know what’s NEW for 2020?
Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon have all declared a climate emergency, leading to our 2020 theme of Environmentally Sustainable Communities.
The backbone of ‘Bike the Creek’ routes is the Etobicoke Creek Trail; a Region of Peel ravine corridor of fields, trees, native plants, and animals. It forms a migratory path for birds. This unique corridor provides walking and cycling for recreation and commuting.
Discover multiple stormwater ponds along Etobicoke Creek that make our ravine more flood resilient.
NEW Route Length Choices
Our NEW routes range from 5 – 75 km.
NEW this year is a short 5 km option for 12 km Family Ride. Almost all on trail, this route was designed for new riders and families with small children. Visit our Bike Rodeo back at Jim Archdekin.
In addition to a 50 km Town Ride, we have a NEW 75 km for those wanting extra distance and more challenge cycling the hills of Caledon. Caledon Villages of Southfields and Valleywood are connected by the Etobicoke Creek Trail, which is now NEWLY paved south to Mayfield Rd.
