About this Event
Cities around the world, including Toronto, are embracing the bicycle as a response to the climate crisis. This is not the first time the bicycle has come to our rescue, proving itself a loyal friend during times of crisis, including the world wars and the COVID pandemic.
In "Wheeling through Toronto, A History of the Bicycle and Its Riders", author Albert Koehl takes the audience on a 130-year ride through the rich history of the bicycle in Toronto. By understanding how we got here, we can begin mapping a way forward, one in which the potential of cycling is maximized.
This program will take place in Room 2/3 on the 2nd floor. There are stairs and an elevator in the lobby that provide access to the 2nd floor. Hope to see you there!
