Laid Back Canada Day Recumbent/Velomobile Waterfront 2nd Annual Ride

This event has already taken place.

This event is not yet approved, and is not yet viewable.

On Canada Day, let's help celebrate all types of bicycles and cycling as the most efficient form of zero-emission, sustainable mobility. City cyclists and recreational riders on any type of bike are invited to ride with Toronto's laid back riders on recumbent bikes, trikes, and in velomobiles -an ultra-efficient type of human-powered vehicle!
