Bells on Bloor is BACK!!
On Sunday May 25th 2008 help us get ONE THOUSAND Bells on Bloor!
Join cyclists of all ages in a pedal-powered parade, ringing our bells all the way from High Park to Queen’s Park. Cycling protects our environment, so let’s protect our cyclists with more bike lanes. Free bike bells for all cyclists, plus bike flags, bike clowns, music, and a special escort courtesy of Toronto's bicycle police!
Don't miss Toronto's biggest cycling advocacy ride of the year!

What an AMAZING ride today
Damn that was a fun time, a fun ride.
And WOW there were a lot of people there (I'm guessing 1200-1500). I couldn't see the start nor the end of the line up of cyclists!
I hope that we continue to have big rides like this, even after we get bike lanes on Bloor.
Beautiful day
Perfect weather (good thing it wasn't the previous weekend!) and so exciting to see the great turnout. Got a bad sunburn on my arms, though - time to break out the sunscreen.
I'd love to have a major bike ride like the Tour de l'Ile in Montreal. Maybe Bells on Bloor could build up to that over time.
If you haven't done so already, take a minute to sign the petition: Bike Lanes on Bloor Petition . I'd been to the Bells on Bloor website a few times before this weekend and hadn't noticed the link to the petition, so I imagine other people may have missed it too.
