Nova Scotia by Bike is an independent project that organizes activities for cyclists in Halifax and Halifax Regional Municipality. Since the beginning of 2022, they have been advocating and helping to promote routes and places where people can cycle, regardless of their level of experience or skill level, and they’ve organized monthly social bike rides. Nova Scotia by Bike is fully run by Sara M Farias, a Brazilian, black, non-binary who moved to Halifax in 2019. With their education in Social Science with an emphasis on Sociology, they do believe that building a society with better accessibility will improve the quality of life, including economic, health and social improvements. To improve their understanding of safety coaching and traffic rules, they got the certificate of CanBike Level 4. In conclusion, for them, cycling is more than just active transportation, is an opportunity to have a close experience in our community.
