BikeFriday!

BikeFriday is an initiative to promote (and encourage) bike events happening in Toronto on the last friday of every month, with the aim of turning that day into a de facto “Bike Day” that happens once a month.

Citizens, politicians and businesses in Toronto all want our air to be cleaner, or streets to be less congested, and our kids to be healthier… and a good way to help achieve these goals is to promote the bicycle as a way of making short trips around the city.

Keep up do date on all the cycle-tastic stuff happening in and around Toronto with the BikingToronto Calendar Page.

Only one thing on this week - Grassroots Environmental Products is having their Bike Commuters Breakfast a week early - this friday the 23rd!

Join the folks at Grassroots-Riverdale for our monthly “Biker Breakfast” in support of Toronto’s bicycle commuters.

Grassroots (372 Danforth, at Chester) hosts an early morning bicycle commuter breakfast between 8am-9:30am. Grassroots would like to support and encourage all of those folks that commute to work by bike, and hopefully we will inspire others to try commuting by bike.

On Friday November 23rd, plan to stop by Grassroots-Riverdale for a delicious, wholesome breakfast snack.

Big thanks to our partners: Merchants of Green Coffee, The Big Carrot, and Urban Herbivore.

If you're on Facebook, there's an event page on there for this.
