The Group Commute was the launch event that started it all. Bike Month began as bike to work day, and this initiative remains the marquee event of Bike Month.

Commuters from around the city meet to ride together from four start points and converge at Yonge and Bloor for 7:30 a.m. These rides are staffed with ride co-ordinators, Emergency Medical Services workers, and a Police escort. All riders will receive a free Bike Month t-shirt for their participation, as well as complimentary breakfast upon their arrival at City Hall.

While it is important to promote cycling in general, there is a specific need to encourage more bicycle commuting. Bicycles are an important component for the mobility of anyone in urban areas who are concerned for their environment, and their health. It's time for a change of attitudes, because bicycle commuting can be both practical and enjoyable.

Join the Mayor, City Councillors and fellow cyclists for free coffee, fruit, pancakes, and more on your way to work in the morning.
