Ride Information

Holland-riders on path

Our Rides

  • Our rides are for every level of interest and ability. There is no better way to experience Niagara’s natural beauty than on a bicycle!
  • Each ride has a designated start time and location, rating (speed to expect), distance, terrain, and are led by an experienced rider.
  • For any given ride, the Tour Leader may make last minute changes in the route due to road problems, weather conditions, riders’ requests, etc. Therefore, the cue sheet/map you download may not always match the actual route taken on the ride.
  • Rides designated as ‘group’ rides do not have a cue sheet/map. The Tour Leader determines the route. If there is no Tour Leader, anyone present can volunteer to be the Tour Leader, and the ‘group’ can decide on the route.
  • In order for a ride to proceed as an official Freewheelers ride, there must be a designated Tour Leader (either the Tour Leader named in the Ride Schedule or a member who volunteers to be the Tour Leader) AND a Liability Release Form must be signed by all riders; otherwise, the ride is designated as an unofficial ride.
