Cycle and Celebrate the West Toronto Railpath
The West Toronto Railpath is a beautiful 
and award-winning public space which provides a safe space to walk, ride a bike, and enjoy being active. With this event we celebrate clean and sustainable transportation options, and how the Railpath creates vital connections between diverse communities living and working in this historic neighborhood.
MEETING POINT: where Wallace Avenue meets the Railpath, west of Symington Avenue and three short blocks north of Bloor Street West. Bike valet parking at Wallace thanks to Cycle Toronto.
