It will be chill ride and the route will travel along residential streets, larger roads with separated bike lanes, and probably through a little bit of construction as it's never ending in Toronto! The ride will be slow. We will stay together. We will stop at three locations - for a short history and of course a Brompton inspired photo!
Our afternoon together will conclude with food in a park. More information to come.
