Cycle into York for breakfast

 

Above: a great alternative to the family SUV….

Cycling can certainly make you hungry, especially if you take two wheels all the way to work at York.

The Black Creek Regional Transportation Management Association (BCRTMA) wants to help boost the energy of such hardy cyclists and give them a well-deserved pat on the back. To coincide with the City of Toronto Bike Week May 26-June 8, they’re holding a breakfast for cyclists in the York University community on Wednesday, June 4 – and it’s free. They’re also screening a film about cycling on Thursday, June 5.
