The Group Commute was the launch event that started it all. Bike Month
began as bike to work day in 1988, and this initiative remains the
marquee event of Bike Month. Join cyclists from across the City on
Toronto's 19th annual Group Commute into the downtown core. It's a
great way to work up an appetite for the Cyclist's Breakfast happening

will start at breakfast and remain ongoing into the day.
