Celebrate the inaugural “Bike to Work” day of the season with us for our Bike to Work day group ride from Riverwood Park to Mississauga’s Central Library Square, where participants will be treated to a free pancake breakfast courtesy of the Mississauga Cycling Advisory Committee.

Participants will gather at the MacEwan Barn at Riverwood Park Conservancy (4300 Riverwood Park Lane) at 7am. Enter Riverwood Park from the north side of Burnhamthorpe Road. The park is located on the eastern bank of the Credit River. Proceed to the top of the hill and follow the signs to the Barn.

The ride will leave Riverwood at 7:30am and proceed along the Ted Ho (Rathburn Road) trail to the Central Library Square for the breakfast event which will be held between 8:00 and 10:00am.

Smart Commute Mississauga is encouraging all cyclists to participate in the Bike Friday campaign by riding to work on the last Friday of each month. Riding in a group encourages novice cyclists to participate and makes cyclists more visible to motorists. Organized rides also show motorists that cycling is a viable alternative to driving.
