It’s impossible to exist in isolation, particularly in the world of cycling. However part of the pleasure of riding our bikes is that we can do it on our own or with friends, or even better than that, make friends on the road or in the bars and cafes along the way.
We have many friends at Port Velo and some special people and companies we want to share with you. The list below is in no way an endorsement and they are not official partners and sadly at this time cannot offer any partner discounts. We also need to be clear that we don’t have any affiliation and as such don’t receive any monetary compensation from those listed. As Sarah MacLean once said “The best partnerships aren’t dependent on a more common goal but on a shared path of equality, desire, and no small amount of passion.”
