About AUTOBUS | Cycling Club

WHO WE ARE We are a Not-For-Profit road cycling club based in GTA, ON. We are OCA registered and offer women's and men's club rides in both Oakville and Toronto areas. As cyclists we are a tight knit community and extend support to local businesses and our members. In order to keep true to our community support mandate, we will participate as a club in the annual WHEELS FOR THE DARLING HOME FOR KIDS. Our name is comprised of JRA - for "just riding along" to signify our love of the simple joy of just riding a bike, as well as the term "AUTOBUS", meaning of which resonates with our core values as a cycling club and our role in the community. WHAT IS AUTOBUS "Autobus" is a French term for a group of cyclists that forms behind the leading group of the peloton. This group typically appears on mountain stages when non-climbers start to fall off the back of the main group. Comprised of sprinters, domestiques, flat-stage specialists, and sometimes even injured riders, this group bands together and continues on towards the finish. It does so by putting aside any team differences and banding together to finish the stage and ride another day. Since the main interest of the Autobus is arriving together at the finish line there is a great sense of camaraderie and enjoyment of cycling within the group. Riders look out for each other, share water and food, and work together to beat the clock - despite riding for different teams. We approach club riding with the same ethos, a convivial attitude and the joy of riding, . We are inclusive, embrace diversity, support our members and community partners, and try not to take ourselves too seriously. We are Autobus.
