Our LapDogs Cycling Club and Race Team Program could not happen without the generous support and contributions for many local and industry related individuals and organizations. Thanks for our amazing sponsors and supporters who are helping to make 2023 a successful return to regular ride programs, and even a bit of racing with a limited schedule as we look to the coming season as building year for our Race Team Program.
GEARS Bike Shop was founded back in 1988 with the underlying principal that Cycling connects people to freedom, nature, and community. It enables us to strive for health and happiness by balancing our everyday busy lives with exercise, relaxation, and fun.
GEARS provide customers with an inclusive and pressure free bike shopping experience. They ask questions, listen and take the time to get to know you to be able to connect you to your perfect bike.
The LapDogs Cycling Club has been “emPowered By GEARS” since 2015

Cannondale have been the bike brand of choice for the LapDogs Cycling Club since the early days of the organization, because when we race…. we want the best for our Team.
Cannondale has been and remains one of the most inivative and progress bicycle manifacturers in the world today. With innovations like the Lefty Suspension Systems, BB30 standards and a never-ending passion for creating iconic (and fast) bicycles that just work better.

Cherry Bomb is pretty much the unofficial clubhouse for the LapDogs Cycling Club as many of our weekday and weekend road rides begin and end there.
Co-Owners, John and Sarah are both avid cyclists and have need supporting the LDCC since 2010. With fresh-baked goods (the very best croissants in Toronto), and amazing ethically sourced coffee, roasted in Prince Edward County by John himself, its not hard to realize why there is a lineup at Cherry Bomb most mornings.

New to the LapDogs Cycling Club, we are proud to add Velolaw to our Team in 2023. Velolaw was founded by Ian Brisbin (an avid cyclist) whose passion for all disciplines of cycling manifests itself in his work, particularly through his focus upon the law as it relates to people on bikes, and cyclists injured by drivers in crashes. He engages in both cycling and active transportation public interest advocacy and uses his law practice based at Martin & Hillyer Associates in Burlington to amplify the voices of seriously injured cyclists through www.velolaw.ca.
With the LDCC’s desire to help increase awareness around cycling advocacy and safety, we’re looking forward to working with Velolaw this season.

Bearing Networks
When Bevin Reith is not riding and racing for the LapDogs Cycling Club, he’s spending time offering consulting services to the IT Industry via his company Bearing Networks.
A brand new sponsor to the LapDogs, Bearing Networks specializes in the building and launching of sophisticated communications systems. We’re thrilled to have their support and to fly the “winged” logo on our kits in 2023, and we love that Bevin sees true value in giving back to the LDCC.

Skratch labs makes sports nutrition designed to help you perform better without offending your gut or your taste buds because we use real food, starting from scratch.
Founded by Dr. Allen Lim, while working as a sport scientist and coach for a professional cycling team, Dr. Lim started making his own training food and sports drinks from scratch for the cyclists because too many of the pre-packaged sports bars and drinks that were marketed or given to them were laden with artificial ingredients. LapDogs are fuelled by Skratch Labs

There is a reason why the LapDogs Cycling Club is considered to be one to the “best-dressed” clubs on Canada. Thanks to our long standing partnership with Jakroo, we know that our club members and racers are outfitted with great fitting, high performance cycling clothing.
For the LDCC, this is not just a fashion statement, it also about providing our members with top quality cycling kit when we “fly the colours.”
