Join Cycle Toronto for our annual, family-friendly Coldest Day of the Year Ride!

This year, we're calling it the Groundhog Day Edition.

You'll remember that we started last year's ride on the Danforth - a bustling main street with more than enough space for protected bike lanes - and impressive bike counts (over 3,000 on a summer weekday as documented by our Ward 14 Bikes group (formerly Ward 30 Bikes). This number is comparable to the pre-bike lane volume on Bloor St. W.

Considering so little has happened to make Danforth bike lanes a reality over the past year, we're heading back there to ask: what's the holdup? Danforth can have it all: protected bike lanes, on street parking with little impact on motor vehicle traffic capacity. It's endlessly frustrating that all we seem to be able to achieve is more and more studies of the obvious: we need safe streets now. Join us to ride on the Coldest Day of the Year and let's make sure our elected officials know we're already riding, and it's time for the infrastructure to catch up.

We'll meet at Alexander the Great Parkette at Danforth & Logan at 11:30AM.
