York and Smart Commute North Toronto/Vaughan kick off Toronto’s Bike Week on June 8 with a complimentary breakfast, free bike tune-ups and York cycling information. All cycling enthusiasts who want to 
share their latest bike experience, discuss cycling issues and learn more about York’s bicycle facilities are welcome.
The breakfast of coffee, juice and bagels from Great Canadian Bagel is being held from 7 to 9am on the walkway south of the Ross Building, east of the HNES Bldg. and will be followed by a bicycle tour of the campus. There will also be a display of video-based art by Don Sinclair.
