Ride your bike to work!
Around the world in many cities, there are Bike to Work days, Weeks and Months. These celebrations are to raise awareness of the benefits of cycling, and to try to encourage people to ride their bikes more.
Since 1989, the City of Toronto has worked with the cycling community to deliver programming encouraging cycling. Toronto's Bike Month has evolved from a 1998 Bike to Work Day event to become one of the largest event of its kind in Canada.
Bike Month 2012 will be presented by the City of Toronto and the Cycle Toronto. Over the next three years, the Cycle Toronto will take over many of the promotional and administrative jobs which have been done in the past by the City of Toronto to make Toronto Bike Month a success. The promotion of Bike Month will transition from being an effort driven by the municipality, to one led by the Cycle Toronto. The City of Toronto will continue to work with the Cycle Toronto, and cycling community in support of Bike Month.
Toronto's 2012 Bike Month events kick off with the Toronto Group Commute. The Bike to Work Day event will be taking place Monday May 28, 2012 this year. Come out and enjoy a free pancake breakfast and free event t-shirts while supplies last.
