Maybe you've already noticed the new "BikeFriday link in the menu at the top of this page, and maybe you've clicked it. If not, here's a introduction to something which I'm trying to get started to make sure all the good bike vibes that happen around BikeWeek June happen more than once a year:
(this is not the bike company BikeFriday, but they make awesome bikes... Vic has one, and it's cooooool!)
Remember the kick-off to BikeWeek? The great "Group Commute" of thousands of bike commuters travelling west from Danforth & Woodbine, east from Bloor & High Park, and south from Yonge & Lawrence, as well as many other start-points around the city?
It was great to have bikes be so prevalent on the roads that day. It was safe for us. The sheer number of cyclists travelling together made car drivers a lot more careful.
Why does this only happen one day a year?
With that question in mind, I'm happy to announce BikeFriday
(http://www.bikingtoronto.com/bikefriday).
The goal of BikeFriday is to make the last friday of every month a celebration of cycling. Instead of only thinking of biking to work once a year, let's step it up a little and make it once a month.
On Friday, August 25th, the first BikeFriday happens. Events are run and organized by different organizations and individuals. There is a group commute, a free breakfast for cyclists on the Danforth, and Critical Mass Toronto.
Please check out the website, and tell your friends.
