The second annual Bike Summit on Thursday May 28th 2009 was a great success. Again this year, despite a bigger venue, this one-day bicycle policy conference sold out in advance. About 220 registrants representing government, the private sector, non-profit organizations and the general public were in attendance. The purpose of the day was to share best practices and challenges in implementing bicycle policy, research, technical designs and advocacy campaigns.
A good reason to take the day off this Wednesday! Danish architect Jan Gehl is coming to Toronto to speak at the Design Exchange.

The Bike Summit is just around the corner. Registration is almost full and excitement is building about this unique event that happens just once a year in Toronto.
The Bike Summit is taking place on May 28, 2009 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Novotel Toronto Centre in downtown Toronto.
