ABOUT TOM BABIN

Tom Babin is an award-winning author, journalist, and the creator of the Shifter YouTube channel, where he explores the intersection of bikes and city life.

Through Shifter, Tom has built a global audience around a simple idea: bikes can make our cities — and our everyday lives — better. His work focuses on urban cycling, transportation, and the role riding plays in shaping more livable, connected places.

He’s also the author of Frostbike: The Joy, Pain and Numbness of Winter Cycling, a bestselling look at what it really means to ride year-round.

Last year, we rode from Seattle to Vancouver together — and it lived up to everything Tom talks about: good routes, good conversations, and the kind of riding that makes you want to keep going.

We’re hyped to link back up in Montréal and ride some more miles — or kilometers, if you’re into that — with him.
