​Urban Exploro

Picture
Howie's! 3D Urban Exploro is all about exploring Ottawa, Canada by bike. It's mostly off-road and it's a lot of fun.

A modern day Lewis and Clarke, The Baron and Howie find novel routes through green-spaces and lesser known pathways and tell you about them, in detail. We have created an Urban Cyclocross almanac to give you a comprehensive list of places to go Exploroing.

Frankenbike vs. The Ripper

Join Howie on his quest to build Ottawa's raddest "Greenbelt Bike". This blog will be updated as the tinkering goes on, and on.

Howie's 3D is a Proud Supporter of Equal Chance

While out exploroing in the early spring of 2021, the Baron and Howie had a chance encounter with some kids on the Tabor Switchback. The kids were really interested in our bikes. That quick conversation led to some googling about Tabor Place, and that led us to the unstoppable Gwen Madiba and Equal Chance.  

Since then friends of Howie, with overwhelming support from the Ottawa Cycling Community, have donated upwards of 60 bikes and $2000 to help children living in emergency homeless shelters. More importantly we have met some amazing families who are finding their way through some truly hard times. We are proud to help Gwen and Equal Chance and they deserve all the recognition they get!
