This<\/strong> Friday — April 27 — is BIKE FRIDAY<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The Bike Friday concept is simple – 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. Drivers are a lot more careful around groups of cyclists.<\/p>\n

Click on Bike Pools<\/strong> on the Bike Friday<\/a> page of bikingtoronto.com<\/a> to find a group commute near you!<\/p>\n

In my area, local MP Peggy Nash<\/a>, will be hosting a bikers breakfast in front of the Parkdale Library<\/a>, at 1303 Queen St. W. Come out and meet Peggy and get revved up on coffee before rolling down Queen street.<\/p>\n

I will depart at 8:30 a.m. and ride down Queen to St. George and then on up to College.<\/p>\n

The Grassroots<\/a> bikers breakfast is at their Annex store this month, at 408 Bloor St. W. (at Brunswick). Come by for an early morning bicycle commuter breakfast between 8:00 – 9:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

Something new this month too; while Grassroots provides re-usable mugs for the organic, fair-trade coffee provided by the Merchants of Green Coffee<\/a>, everyone is welcome to bring their own mug.<\/p>\n

On Friday afternoon I will report back on the various Bike Friday group commutes. I will also begin my series of cyclist profiles, in the lead up to Bike Week<\/a>, starting with a mini-profile on Peggy Nash.<\/p>\n

The weather network predicts a high of 15 (Celsius) and only a 30 percent chance of rain. So I’ll see you on two wheels on Friday!<\/p>\n

Update: <\/strong>I just received word that local City councillor, Gord Perks<\/a>, will also be there at 8 a.m. to support Bike Friday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
