Bike 4 United Way (B4UW) is an annual Ontario Public Service (OPS) employee charity ride which has raised over $398,983 since 2012, for United Ways across Ontario. In 2023, there were three ride locations: western, Manitoulin, and Prince Edward County .  Distances and speeds varied from 80km to 160km per day.  The 2024 ride will take place in September and fundraising will be available up to October 31, 2024. 

Along our route, B4UW visits local United Way offices and meet local champions and recipients. These are the people that realize the benefits of our efforts and your generosity. The OPS members across Ontario from a number of Ministries and agencies plan all aspects of the tour themselves, volunteering their time.

In 2012, a group of OPSers toured for ten days from Thunder Bay to Toronto while raising critical funds for the communities they were riding in. We want to bring it back. 

Thank you for all those who supported the 2023 B4UW rides!

In September 2023, thirty-one Ontario Public Servants (OPS)ers cycled through the sights of rural Ontario while supporting our local communities. Together we raised $11,683 in critical funds and support for United Way chapters across the province. Thank you – riders and supporters!
