Looking for a bike related activity for this cold Saturday? You could try the Coldest Day of the Year Ride, starting at the Grenadier Cafe in High Park at noon. Or you could go to the Live Auction of 5 of the legendary yellow BikeShare bikes starting at 3pm at the Community Bicycle Network at Queen and Euclid.

CBN Open House and Auction
Join us on Saturday, January 30th, from 12 to 6pm, when we will hold an all-afternoon Open House!
We will be holding a Live Auction for five of the legendary yellow Bikeshare bikes at 3pm. Get them while the getting's good!
Also, throughout the day (and ending at 5pm) there will be a Silent Auction for high-end and unique vintage parts.
And if you don't want to hang around till that happens, just drop by and get used parts at astonishing prices - we will be slashing our always-low prices on used parts. (All used parts just $2.00 -- One Day Only.)
Plus, hot cocoa and snacks to keep you warm on a wintery bike day.
(If you're planning to go to the Coldest Day of the Year Ride, there should still be time to get to CBN's auction afterward, so you can do it all!)
See you then!
Coldest Day of the Year Ride
Saturday, January 30, 2010 - 12:00
What: Come out for a group ride on the statistically coldest day of the year.
Where: This year, the ride will highlight the Martin-Goodman Waterfront Trail. Start Location is the Grenadier Cafe in High Park. We will then ride along the waterfront to Coronation Park, and discuss some of the challenges and successes of winter snow maintenance for cyclists. Hot Chocolate for riders will be served at the Grenadier Cafe.
Why: Winter riding is not only a practical way to get around, it's fun too.
Last year, the City ran a pilot project to plough the Martin-Goodman Waterfront Trail for cyclists. The pilot was a success, and this year the City will continue testing various winter road maintenance options on the trail. The ride will be a great chance to learn more about winter road maintenance, and to talk with City Staff about winter riding in Toronto.
