Every June, Barrie comes alive on wheels with the Bicycle Poker Ride, co-hosted by Living Green Barrie and Firebird Community Cycle. This event blends fun, community, and advocacy to promote cycling and active transportation in the city.
What Is the Bike Poker Ride?
It’s a self-directed, non-competitive ride: you start anytime after 9am (leave enough time to build a good hand before 3pm) and visit participating businesses or stops to collect playing cards.
The goal is to build your best poker hand — but more importantly, it’s about exploring Barrie, supporting local shops, and enjoying active transportation.
The ride wraps up at 3:00pm with a celebration and prize ceremony at Tiff’s
We welcome all kinds of two-wheeled riders: bicycles, e-bikes, and even e-scooters.
📝 What to Know If You Plan to Ride
Here are some tips and reminders to get the most out of the Poker Ride (and to help you feel confident):
Wear a helmet (always!).
Choose a comfortable route and pace — it’s not a race.
Use bike lights or reflective gear if needed.
Bring repair basics (spare tube, pump, multitool).
Stay hydrated and bring snacks.
Ride in pairs or teams — it’s more fun and safer.
Review the stops list in advance to plot a route that matches your fitness and time.
Be comfortable riding in traffic; follow the rules of the road.
Whether you’re on a bike, e-bike, or e-scooter, all two-wheeled riders are welcome. The ride takes place on city streets, so participants should be comfortable riding in traffic.
Participating businesses will be announced closer to the event.
Team Captains will get details via email.
