Alright, tomorrow is the big day. Here’s the last of our vendors. We are going to have a bike demo area (including bike polo penalty shots) and 20 vendors/clubs/organizations out in full force. Come find out what you’ve been missing and get involved in London’s cycling scene!

Final applications are all submitted. We are stoked to announce a full roster of amazing clubs, cool shops and scenic ride events. Stay tuned over the next 10 days to see who all is coming!

Looking for a new hobby? Got a bike sitting in the garage that could use some TLC? Nervous that summer break is fast approaching and you haven’t found a sport to sign your kids up for? Come out to the London Bike Show. Local clubs, shops and organizations on display to show you the amazing cycling scene in your own backyard! Did we mention it’s FREE?!?

Tell your friends, your family, your friends’ family, your family’s friends. This Sunday we are hosting a Learn to Ride with the insurance fees waived. Don’t worry, you’re still covered! This is a great way to get new riders out with one less speed bump. Spread the word and act fast. Only 3 spots left by the time I actually got this posted!

Oops, forgot to add the Sunday Rec Ride to the calendar. It’s still on, and so is the 8am session. Come for some track specific training in the morning and then stay and add on miles!

Calling all parents, riders, supporters of the FCV! We are looking to recruit more coaches and assistants/supervisors to our youth program. We welcome experienced coaches or eager volunteers looking to become certified. We can help with training and certification. Please send a DM or email [email protected]

New Year, new goals. Try taking a step outside of your comfort zone. Come join us for our Intermediate Skills sessions on Wednesdays at 7pm or Sundays at 8am. Led by veterans of the track, you will get to develop your skills and work on fitness drills. Some say it’s the most fun you can have on two wheels in the winter, and don’t try telling us differently (fat-bikers I’m looking at you).

Let’s keep the good times rolling. Thank you to all of our members, volunteers, donors and sponsors for believing in us and supporting us as we enter our 19th year. Membership is now live. Link in bio.

Hey everyone, quick update here. We have been working away at getting everything in order to reopen the FCV. Everything is coming together. We appreciate your support, feedback and patience. We are itching to get back to fixed gear riding too. Please stay tuned as there will be a formal reopening announcement in the next couple of days.

Friendly reminder that the FCVA is having its Board of Directors election on Tuesday September 26 @ 7:00pm. Due to insurance technicalities we are waiting to confirm the location, so please stay tuned. We need a President, Secretary and Treasurer. Ideally we would also have two elected Officers.
