The Annual Can-Am Ride

We have a very special ride coming up. On October 10th, we are inviting you to join us in Freedom Park at the foot of Ferry. From there, we will be taking a ride down to the Peace Bridge crossing into Canada to stop at Freedom Park in Fort Erie. After a brief break and program, we will go for a bike ride throughout Fort Erie in the spirit of friendship, returning back to Freedom Park in Buffalo for a great lunch. Presented by the East Side Bike Club, the Niagara River Greenway and the Rotary Clubs of Western New York and Fort Erie, it’s a thrilling journey right on the Peace Bridge and see some great fall sights along the Friendship Trail in Ontario.

The 2026 Can-Am Ride celebrates community connections across the border, the lasting friendship between the U.S. and Canada.
