The Mississauga Cycling Advisory Committee and Smart Commute Mississauga invite you to participate in the 4th Annual Bike to Work Day on Monday, May 31, 2010.  In conjunction with these two groups, the City of Mississauga will be hosting a breakfast event at the Living Arts Centre Park on Bike to Work Day to encourage area residents and employees to try cycling to work.

The main group ride is taking place from Riverwood Park Conservancy to the Living Arts Centre.  Participants will gather at the Chappell House Lawn at Riverwood Park at 7 a.m.  The ride will leave Riverwood Park at 7:30 a.m. and proceed east along the Ted Ho (Rathburn Rd.) trail to the Living Arts Centre Park, where participants will be treated to a free pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.  The ride will take place rain or shine! Click here to view the route map.  Or just drop by for breakfast anytime up until 10:00 a.m. on your bike!

Bike to Work Day is recognized by Smart Commute organizations across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, in partnership with Metrolinx and area municipalities.  Smart Commute Mississauga has organized group rides to various employers across Mississauga, as well as the main group ride to the Living Arts Centre.

Join us on Monday, May 31st, 2010 and together, let’s help promote cycling as a viable, environmentally-friendly commute option for a greener, healthier Mississauga.  There will be giveaways and draw prizes for ride participants.

If you already ride your bike to work, why not invite others to join you on May 31?  Check out organized rides you can join or register your own ride here.  Further details are posted on the Smart Commute Mississauga website.

An interesting component of Bike To Work Day is the Corporate Leaders Challenge which encourages CEOs, managers, and team leaders/supervisors to cycle to work and encourage their staff to do the same. Leaders will have a chance to win a free half-page ad in the Toronto Star which features their Bike To Work testimonial. I have noticed an increase in the amount of companies registered for the Leaders Challenge. Could this be showing that employers are recognizing the benefits for making it easier for employees to bike to work? People that use a bicycle instead of a car are proven to have better focus on the job, harmful vehicle emissions are reduced, and the cyclist enjoys better health. When people cycle to work, everyone wins.
