Join Ward 29 Bikes and the East York Historical Society for a cycling tour of some of Ward 29’s historic sites. Discover the Taylors and Playters, explore the villages of Todmorden and Chester, and learn about the history of East York and area while riding with the whole family.

Meet at Playter Gardens at the corner of Danforth and Cambridge Avenues any time between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to pick up a route map and additional info. The full tour will take approximately 90 minutes at a leisurely pace and is suitable for the whole family. The route is mostly on quiet neighbourhood streets or dedicated bike lanes, but there will be some short sections along main roads. Watch this site or contact us for more information.

We’re also looking for additional volunteers to help before and on June 11. If you’re interested in helping, please contact us or send email to info@29bikes.ca.
