May has been a busy month for us at Bike Share and we couldn’t be happier to end things off by reaching the huge milestone of 1,000,000 trips!
June welcomes Bike Month, and this is a great opportunity to grab family and friends to encourage more Torontonians to discover the beauty of commuting or enjoying the city on two wheels.
So tell us, how will you cycle this month?
