Pedal Poll/Sondo Vélo 2024

Canada’s national bicycle count - June 4-9, 2024
Claim a counting shift in your community today

Pedal Poll/Sondo Vélo 2024 is taking place June 4 to 9. The count is a chance to evaluate the state of cycling in our communities. Together we get a “snapshot” of what cycling looks like in communities across Canada, at the same time, year over year.

The data collected helps build the case for more, and better, cycling infrastructure. This growing data set is there for everyone to use to advocate for access to safe cycling choices for everyone, everywhere.

📆 Count dates

You will note that the SignUp pages list Tuesday, June 4 and Saturday, June 8 as the weekday and weekend count dates. These are the ideal count dates, but if the weather is poor or you are unable to count on these days, please conduct your weekday count on Wednesday the 5th or Thursday the 6th and conduct your weekend count on Sunday the 9th.
