Come see what all this BIXI Toronto talk has been about!!
July 28 ยท 7:00pm - 10:00pm
Gladstone Hotel @ 1214 Queen St. West (near Dufferin)
Complimentary food and entertainment!
- Be one of the first to subscribe to BIXI Toronto and help make public bikes a reality in our City!
- Take a BIXI bike for a test spin and feel what a great ride they are.
Public Bikes have been dramatically improving cities around the world in recent years - and now it's our turn in Toronto!! But we need your participation to help make this happen.
Help us insure that this amazing program gets the support we need to roll out 1000 public bikes across downtown in Spring 2011 - without 1000 subscriptions sold by November, we lose the public bikes program altogether...

Fabu!
Thu, 07/29/2010 - 10:17Hi Ben et al,
It was a fantastic event, exceptionally well done and well attended!
Sean Wheldrake with City of Toronto gave a great, crowd-pleasing presentation, along with a slick, groovy video about Bixi. Yvonne got up and said a few grateful and inspirational words. Thank you gifts were given out to corporations who have already pledged corporate contributions to Bixi. Dave Meslin, Herb, Anthony, and a whole lot of other familiar bike-community faces were in the audience. The Bixi bikes and promotional team were front and centre on Dufferin giving demos, and the major media were all over the event with live-to-air and taped interviews.
This high-profile, well executed event shows how much our cycling community has grown and become sophisticated, at least at the core. Now the challenge will be for the general public to adopt the behaviors, practices, and norms on a city-wide scale. And that means signing up for Bixi subscriptions, CAN-BIKE lessons, and being the best we can be by being ambassadors of peace, calm, patience, and inclusiveness, each and every one of us.
Sign-up is available online at http://www.toronto.bixi.com . Go. Go now!
Cheers,
Brian
