Who is this Event for?
Everybody!
If you care about bikes, about the environment, about happy, healthy communities, or about safe and equitable transportation alternatives, this event is for you!
Last year, the ride drew a diverse bunch, ranging from lots of families with little ones in trailers, to avid cycle commuters, to urban professionals, to road and mountain bike race teams, to some people who had never even dared to ride a bike in Toronto before! Some people dressed up, some people played musical instruments along the way, and some people even wore capes!
Be creative (if you'd like); this event is for you!
The Route
Date: Saturday May 29, 2010 (rain or shine!)
Time: 11 am: Get your free bike bell, hear ride logistics, and learn the tune
if you would like to become part of the musical
12 noon: Ride starts
Start: Bloor St. W at the main gate to High Park
End: Queen’s Park (Queen’s Park Cres. W at Wellesley)
Alternatively you can choose to join the ride anywhere along the route. You won't be able to miss us!
Clay & Paper Theatre will be orchestrating a very special musical-on-wheels this year, musicians will be performing at select locations as the ride passes, and Sweet Pete's Bike Shop has generously donated prizes for the best photos of this year's ride. So join the fun this Saturday and don't miss the best Bells on Bloor ever!
But, I Don’t have a Bike!
