Bike Winter tips
If you are riding through the winter, or want to give it a try, Bike Winter has tips (PDF) for dealing with the snow, keeping warm, and maintaining your bike as you pedal your way into spring.

Check out the safety section for more tips, such as how to cross streetcar tracks safely, which are useful no matter what the season.

Here are some fun reasons to go for a ride.


Events
Coldest Day of the Year Ride
Come out on Toronto's statistically coldest winter day, and join the 'Coldest Day of the Year Ride' on January 30, 2010. Because riding your bike, especially for shorter distances in urban centres, is not only possible but practical here in Toronto.
