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. 1">

Bikers Breakfast @ Grassroots
Don’t let the cool weather keep you indoors --Join the folks at Grassroots-Riverdale, 372 Danforth Avenue at Chester Ave. (map), for our monthly "Biker Breakfast" in support of Toronto's Bicycle commuters. On the last Friday of every month Grassroots hosts an early morning bicycle commuter breakfast between 8:00 - 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 March 30th, plan to stop by Grassroots-Riverdale for a delicious, wholesome breakfast snack.



Free Stuff for Cyclists @ the BikeChain!
The BikeChain (a project of the University of Toronto Sustainability Office) is open from 12-5 PM. ANY cyclist that comes by during that time can get free coffee as well as a free membership to the BikeChain (regularly $20-$60). The BikeChain provides dedicated space and tools to do repairs and get info about cycling in Toronto.

The BikeChain is located at:
International Student Centre (basement level)

Please consider running or taking part in a BikeFriday bike event to help promote regular bicycle use in our city. This can include anything at all … as long as it’s bike-related. Some ideas include bike maintenance workshops, a free coffee / breakfast treat location for bike-commuters, group commutes, recreational group rides, discounts for cyclists in stores, etc.
