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.
Bike Friday Events
August 31, 2007
Grassroot's Bikers Breakfast: 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Hop on your bike and find some two-wheeled solidarity this Friday among the folks at Grassroots-Annex (408 Bloor Street West, at Brunswick), for our monthly “Biker Breakfast” in support of Toronto's bicycle commuters.
Enjoy a delicious, wholesome breakfast snack donated by our friends at Organics on Bloor (468 Bloor St. W.) and Urban Herbivore (64 Oxford St.).
You can even bring your own coffee mug for extra-environmentally-friendly coffee drinking! :)
Alternative Grounds' Coffee for Cyclists: 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Show up at Alternative Grounds (333 Roncesvalles) with your bike helmet and score yourself a free in-store (not take-out) coffee.
Critical Mass 6:00 - 8:00 PM
THE biking event for cyclist who want to show other road users that bikes belong on the streets.
Join hundreds of other Toronto cyclists for a sometimes civil, sometimes hell-raising ride around downtown.
Meet up on the south-east corner of Bloor & Spadina at 6:00, ride at 6:30.
6:00 p.m.: Critical Mass Bike Ride
BikePools / Group Commutes 7:00 - 9:00 AM
The concept is simple - let's meet up in groups and ride to work together. Biking to work can sometimes be dangerous - but it's safer when you ride with other people.
Drivers are a lot more careful around groups of cyclists. Riding in a group encourages novice cyclists to participate and makes cyclists more visible to motorists. Organized rides also show motorists that cycling is a viable alternative to driving.
If you already ride your bike to work, why not invite others to join you. Email [email protected] to have your BikeFriday route posted on this website.
