The Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition (GVCC), is a cycling advocacy group based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Founded in 1992, the GVCC is one of Canada's oldest cycling advocacy organizations.
The GVCC's focuses include cycling advocacy, publication of Cycle Therapy, a quarterly newsletter, recreational rides including the annual Architectural Bike Tour in conjunction with the Architectural Institute of British Columbia, production of cycling maps and on special events, such as 2009's Velo Victoria.[1]
The GVCC has hosted several international transportation symposia in its history, including the National Center for Bicycling an Walking's Pro Walk/Pro Bike conference in 2004, the Streets Are For People conference in 1998, and the Traffic Calming Conference in 1995.
The GVCC was instrumental in the development of the Galloping Goose Regional Trail, having organized the first cleanup of what would become the trail. GVCC members currently provide input to the development of the E&N Railway Trail and the Capital Regional District's Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
Notable members include Victoria Member of Parliament Denise Savoie and City of Victoria Councillors Lynn Hunter and John Luton.
