After a week of dismal forecasts, the weather was just fine today for a bike ride.
It being Mother’s Day weekend, the theme of the ride was mothers, families, and bike safety. 
Sweet Pete’s was handing out bells.
Anthony designed the poster for the ride, and was also selling shirts with the same design.
Tino buys a shirt.

Councillor Kristin Wong Tam encouraged all of us to make our voices heard at City Hall with regards to bike issues.
And we’re off.
Headed down to Keele, we had to stay to one lane because of contruction, and this strung out the pack a bit more than usual.
Once past Keele, things opened up.
