As winter is on the horizon and the snow falling, Markham Cycle’s 2020 season has officially ended. It’s been great meeting everyone in our community at our pop-up bikes booths and seeing everyone riding despite the pandemic. While our in-person programming has wrapped-up, we will still be hosting a few virtual workshops throughout winter. Keep an eye out on our calendar for any winter programming.
