Water Cycles Expeditions is a social enterprise connecting people and water through cycling.

There are approximately 2 billion bikes in the world. We believe this represents a latent force for understanding and tackling the global water crisis. We run adventurous bike tours for all types of riders with partners around the world. Our tours foster a sense of adventure and community to inspire action on local and global water challenges. We are creating a global network of citizen scientists to use bikes to crowdsource data on water risks and values, and to build an atlas of innovative ways to adapt and thrive in a changing climate.

Water Cycles Expeditions is an initiative of the Blue Range Labs incubator based at the University of Waterloo and Oxford. Contact us at info@watercycles.bike
