Connecting to Campus by Bike - East

To the uninitiated, getting to campus by bike can be a daunting challenge. Fortunately, Winnipeg’s growing bike network provides a number of safe, comfortable connections to the Fort Garry campus that can make the ride to and from University a highlight of your day.

Hop on your bike and join Bike Winnipeg and UMCycle on a casually paced ride from the U of M’s Fort Garry Campus to The Forks that will help you find your cycling connection to campus. Our route to The Forks will take us along key low stress bike routes leading into the Fort Garry Campus while pointing out important east/west connections along our route.

On this eastern edition of the ride, we'll be riding to the Forks via the Bishop Grandin Greenway and low stress residential streets and pathways through St. Vital and St. Boniface.

Including a quick orientation on services provided at the UMCycle Bike Kisok, an overview of bike parking and end of trip facilities at the Fort Garry Campus, and stops to talk about connections along our route, the ride will take about 2 hours to reach The Forks (its much quicker without all of the stops).

COVID-19 Precautions

To help ensure the safety of our ride participants, volunteers, and staff, we will be asking everyone to maintain a 2m distance between each other at stops and while riding. Sites have been selected to ensure space for social distancing, and we have limited ride sizes. If you are experiencing any symptoms, we ask that you please stay home. Finally, please note that we are not requesting the mandatory use of masks during our rides.
