Bee2gether Bikes Forced to Relocate | Winnipeg News

Bee2gether Bikes, a beloved tandem bike rental staple at The Forks for nearly two decades, is shuttering its flagship location this summer after being blindsided by the loss of its lease — a move the owner says has devastated his business. Forced to relocate operations to FortWhyte Alive and launch a GoFundMe for $7,500, the company is scrambling to recover while expanding its fleet with new kayaks and pedal boats. Owner Chad Celaire, who believes The Forks misled him about ongoing lease reviews, laments the loss of a prime spot drawing four million visitors annually. The Forks maintains they gave clear notice in 2024 about not renewing the lease due to development plans — a claim Celaire disputes. Despite the fallout, Bee2gether Bikes, which employs over 30 people and operates at multiple parks, is focusing on its new FortWhyte location and hopes to return once the Railside Development is complete.
