The Gold Standard of Cycling: Our Strategic alliance with Elbow Valley Cycling Club (EVCC)

  • News

What happens when you pair Alberta’s premier cycling club with the province’s most advanced bike-tracking technology? You get a community that rides safer, longer, and smarter. Our Strategic alliance with the Elbow Valley Cycling Club (EVCC) is all about elevating the cycling experience for every rider in Calgary.

The EVCC is Calgary’s go-to club for recreational and touring cyclists. They don’t just ride; they advocate for the sport and prioritize the education of their members. Our Strategic alliance with the Elbow Valley Cycling Club (EVCC) is built on a foundation of safety, skill, and a shared passion for the open road. By combining their legendary club culture with the circular economy expertise of Alberta Bike Swap, we are ensuring that Calgary’s cycling community is the most educated and best-equipped in the province.

A key pillar of this alliance is our shared focus on education. We are incredibly proud to work alongside Don Hollingshead, a cornerstone of the EVCC and Alberta’s only previous CAN-BIKE National Examiner.

  • Expertise in Motion: Don’t just take our word for it—Don’s high-level certification means that the training and safety standards we promote are backed by the highest authority in the country.
  • Technical Integrity: While Don ensures the riders are skilled, our Bicycle Swap Software ensures bought and sold bikes are legitimate.
  • Sustainability Measured: Through our carbon accounting, we show how the EVCC’s massive collective mileage contributes to a lower carbon footprint for Alberta.

We value excellence. By aligning with the EVCC and the national-level CAN-BIKE expertise of Don Hollingshead, we are bridging the gap between sophisticated software and the best community rides.

We glanced at other cyclist while cycle commuting in January 2005, spoke at the bike racks, and we’ve been together since.
