Join us for an afternoon celebrating and advocating for bicycle and pedestrian safety!
WHERE TO MEET
We will meet on Saturday May 11th 2013 at noon at High Park (Bloor gate) and we will ride en masse to Queens Park for an afternoon rally.
(Our east end friends will meet at noon at East Lynn Park and meet us at Queen’s Park, for more information check out their website athttp://bellsondanforth.ca/)
It’s also Mother’s Day, so this year’s theme is all about mothers and kids and their safety on the roads and sidewalks. To honor all moms, we’ll be decorating our bikes with homemade flowers!
Sweet Petes Bicycle Shop has generously agreed to set up at High Park and give away free bells to anyone that does have one!
Please help spread the word and invite all your friends! More information will be posted as the event comes closer. For more details check out our website at www.bellsonbloor.org
See you on the street!

Thousands of Cyclists Take Over Bloor Street
I took part in the Bells on Bloor musical ride today with thousands of other cyclists who rode from High Park in the west end of Toronto to Queens Park downtown.
Bells on Bloor is a ride designed to send a message to city politicians that bike lanes are needed on Bloor street. Many studies have been done over the past years which indicate the best east-west main route for cyclists in Toronto is Bloor St.
Shamefully the city has done a major redevelopment through the 'mink mile' on Bloor street from Church street to Avenue road without including any bike lanes and even removing the bike posts that used to exist. This is the same stretch of road where bike courier Darcy Allen Sheppard was killed in a mishap with former Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant.
