Toronto Bike Month 2012 for Fitness and Events

Toronto Bike Month is all the excuse I need for writing about fitness and several bicycling events in Toronto this spring.

Read my DeHaan Fitness article, “Great Reasons to Bicycle in Spring 2012“, for the exercise angle.

(Added April 6, 2013): In breaking news, Toronto Bike Month 2013 rolls from May 27 through June 30, 2013. Once again, it will be a great month for bikes in Toronto.

(Added April 6, 2013): If you’re shopping online for bicycles and cycling accessories, Light in the Box has some good wares. I like the look of their 11 or 16 function multi-tools: like a Swiss Army knife for bike repair. Also check for their daily deals, linked their home page.

The official City Hall page advertising Toronto Bike Month 2012 has only a few details, so allow me to summarize.

Cycle Toronto has the Official Calendar for Toronto Bike Month 2012

City Hall seems to have outsourced their planning to Cycle Toronto, but the online calendar I’d originally used is now defunct. It used to have details about:

  • Ride to Work.
  • Take a tour of a district or bike trail.
  • Attend a bicycle maintenance workshop or a political event.

Note: the link pops to “May 2012”; use their “next” button, on the same row as the calendar heading, for June etc.

2012 Ride to Work in Toronto

May 29, 2012 is the official “Ride to Work” day for this year. (Yes, I know it’s too late for the pancake breakfast. I only learned about it today, too).

Tour Toronto by Bicycle

Their calendar lists several tours. Be sure to click on the calendar’s internal links for more details!

One tour is the ongoing “Tour du Dufflet” to visit their cafĂ©s. Pay $5 in support of the Toronto Cyclists Union; get free munchies & drinks.

Other trails include “Balfour and the Bine”, “West Toronto Railpath” and “The Beaches”.

Learn to Maintain Your Bike

“Urbane Cyclist Workshops” will be held Wed. evenings.

Bicycle Charity Begins on the DVP

On June 3rd, the Becel Ride for Heart cycling charity event will take over the Don Valley Parkway. I’ve blogged about it in “The 2012 Becel Ride for Heart in Toronto“.

Wrapping up Toronto Bike Month for 2012

Food and drink are highlighted for several events, and a final party is listed too. Yet their calendar continues listing events even beyond that time. I’m sure that serious social cyclists will bookmark their site.

If you don’t have a bike, this would be a good time to check for bicycle shops in Toronto, or for bicycle rentals in Toronto such as Bixi.

My apologies for not being ahead of this curve; I just learned today that May 29, 2012 is the start of Toronto Bike Month. Obviously I need to strengthen my ties to Toronto’s cycling community.
