Community Rides

We partner with community organizations and City Councillor’s offices to host community rides to highlight the joy of cycling in the community. We plan the route to best showcase the cycling infrastructure in your ward.

Our ride guides will take you on a bike ride ranging from 60 - 90 minutes. Before the ride, we’ll go over a brief tutorial of the route, riding protocol, signaling, and group riding etiquette. While we will aim to incorporate cycling infrastructure in the route wherever possible, participants should be comfortable handling a bike and riding in traffic.

If you’d like to partner with us for a community ride, contact us at [email protected]!

Educational Videos

StreetSmartsTO is an initiative to help support Toronto’s growing community of people that cycle.

Knowledge is a key aspect in being happy, healthy, and safe when you’re riding a bike, whether it’s on a trail or on the road. StreetSmartsTO is helping people by increasing their awareness of what’s expected of them and others, while giving them the skills they need to move forward on two (or three or four) wheels.

Through workshops, group rides, online education tools, and pop-up events across the city, we hope to make cycling easy and accessible across the city. Click on the boxes below to learn more about the various initiatives hosted under the StreetSmartsTO Campaign.
