Bike Event: Bells on Bloor

Bicycle advocates and activists are planning the second annual Bells on Bloor bike ride this Sunday. The purpose of the ride is to promote the idea of safer cycling facilities along Bloor St., particularly the installation of bike lanes. The ride will be coming through our neighbourhood along Bloor St. shortly after noon.

These details are from the Bells on Bloor website, where you can find more information:

On Sunday May 25th 2008 help us get ONE THOUSAND Bells on Bloor!

Join cyclists of all ages in a pedal-powered parade, ringing our bells all the way from High Park to Queen’s Park. Cycling protects our environment, so let’s protect our cyclists with more bike lanes. Fighting climate change has never been so fun! Free bike bells for all cyclists, plus bike flags, bike clowns, music, and a special escort courtesy of Toronto's bicycle police!
