Today, Wilfrid Laurier University kicked off their annual Commuter Challenge and the Bicycle Forest was called in to present various modes of alternative transportation. Thanks to Ted and friends for pedalling the bikes to the event. With all that rain it was a smart move to bring the pickup truck bike!

The City of Toronto kicked off Bike Month yesterday with its annual Group Commute. Bicycle commuters from around the city met to ride together from four start points and converged at Yonge and Bloor before descending on mass to Nathan Phillips Square.

Coming from Waterloo with nine bikes ranging in size from the diminutive Mini 125 to the enormous Family Truckster and Couchbike, our commute was surely one of the more logistically complex. Kudos to Ted for keepin’ it real and cycling all the way from Waterloo.

In Nathan Phillips Square, we had a special area set up for people to try some of the unique bikes we brought from the Bicycle Forest collection. Good times were definitely had by all.
