We had a great ride on Saturday, with more than 250 cyclists starting Bells on Danforth at East Lynn Park and more than 300 riders in total joining us for at least a portion of the route. Thanks to all of the families who celebrated Mother’s Day with us and made this year’s ride a huge success. Here’s a gallery of pictures from Saturday’s ride and and the Cycle and Sole rally with Bells on Bloor, Bells on Yonge, and Walk Toronto.

Is there going to be a Bells On Danforth ride in 2014? My daughter and I enjoyed immensely last year. It was her first extended bike ride and it helped confirm her love of cycling.
Hi Pierre,
Bells on Danforth will be held on Sunday, September 14 this year.
