Hello cycling friends!

We're One Week away from our biggest, and most important event of the year - our first annual Toronto Cyclists Union Fundraiser Cocktail & Masquerade!!  You can see more details below, and view the full event poster here

It's my pleasure to announce a Special Reduced Ticket Price for all of you, our valued members, and supporters ;)

We're also very pleased to announce that Molly Johnson, friend of the Toronto Cyclists Union and CBC Radio 2 host, will be performing at our upcoming Fundraiser Cocktail & Masquerade on Oct 28th at the Steamwhistle.

If there was ever a time to get behind our city's most dedicated, and high profile cycling advocates, it's now.  Thanks to the Toronto Cyclists Union, our city's first member-based cycling advocacy organisation, cycling issues are now most definitely on the map in Toronto.

If you've ever cared about improving conditions for cyclists in this city, and about getting bikes properly incorporated into the transportation mix, now is the time to show support for the first group with real traction.  Whether or not you have joined yet as a member, the bike union represents your interests as a cyclist.  We have some real momentum, and could use your help to keep it going.

Video Message from Executive Director, Yvonne Bambrick

Please consider purchasing tickets, or making a contribution, even if you are unable to attend. Though we'd much rather see you there!!
