“Be nice, ride a bike, repeat.”
Our story started off riding bikes in the neighborhoods of Scarborough as kids. As we entered adulthood, bikes started to feel exclusive, something only for the privileged – fancy bikes, clubs, lycra, gear and special shoes. It was a transition that we didn’t even notice, we just didn’t feel that it was a space for us. There weren’t people that looked like us, had bikes like ours.
In 2018, we explored and rediscovered this sense of belonging and the love for riding came with. The No Club Cycling Club.
Those first few rides were magic. From raging streams, to calm green pastures, to trees racing to the skies above…and old bikes. We had stumbled on an entire new world – one that rooted us in gratitude. Gratitude for the people that come before us, the beautiful landscapes we traverse, and the future of adventure cycling.
We share our rides and the builds ferry us through these incredible experiences to support the idea – cycling is for everyone & no adventure is too small. This is a place for everyone.
See ya on the trails.

Jimmy Judgey
Yo! I’m Jimmy. I’ve loved bikes as long I can remember, my grandfather and I would spend our days in the garage working on bikes the neighbours had trashed, and then shred the trails with them. I’ve been wrenching bikes in Toronto bike co-ops for the last 10 years, wouldn’t be here without it.
Gurinder Sandhu
I’ve been riding bikes for the last 8 years and telling stories one shutter click at a time. As a self-described newbie to the cycling world, I know how intimidating it can be firsthand, but I’ve also felt the warmth this community has to offer. Here’s to learning & growing together.
Leah McKinney
Hey I am Leah, I joined the Drive Side Team in 2024 as a Community Manager and Outreach Coordinator. Growing up in Vancouver, I have been cycling my whole life, but I found m Toronto cycling community in university through bike marshalling. I am really passionate about using bikes as tools for community organizing and cross-movement solidarity.
Robyn Black
Hey! I’’m Robyn! I grew up in a small town in Nova Scotia and would spend my summers riding on bikes to and from Tim Hortons and for gas station slushies, the true small town experience. I joined the Drive Side team for the summer of 2026 and can’’t wait to learn the ins and outs of the cycling community in the GTA!
