Yesterday kicked off Bike to Work Month in Toronto. Being a commuter that loves to support cycling for its health and environmental benefits, I wanted to get right in on the action.
Starting at 7am, from multiple points in the city, there was the annual group ride to Nathan Philips Square, called the "Group Commute."
After the ride, sponsers and supports gave out really useful promotional items such as T shirts, helmet covers, pants bands, reusable lunch bags, magnets, stickers and more. Plus a delicious breakfast including pancakes, fruit, croissants and coffee.
The city support for new bike lanes, safer cycling and the general enthusiasm was incredibly encouraging and motivating. It's a fantastic event to raise awareness and to gain support for urging Torontonians to use their bike as a mode of transportation, oppose to as a solely recreational activity.
Until June 25th, there are events all around Toronto for cyclists including more rides, free workshops, the grand opening of the new bike station at Union Station and so much more!
Check out the Toronto.ca website for event calendars and pictures from past Bike Weeks.
