ABOUT US
What's this all about? Experiencing the streets throughout Toronto! It's about fun with no political affiliation or agenda. This is our love letter to the city - an adventure around Toronto where the route changes every week. We have a few favourite haunts & trails we like to visit, but we love to switch it up. If you like FUN and ADVENTURE & have a good attitude, you should join us!
Every week the number of riders varies, but there's always music (often multiple sound systems), good people, bike lights & good fun. Don't expect to simply show up to a party, we hope you take the time to come & participate in bringing & being the party. Toronto Cruisers is not a race through the city, it's a cruise, meaning it's a leisurely ride that's appropriate for most skill & age levels (music may occasionally contain explicit lyrics). We stop several times on each ride & we try to vary where we end up stopping as well as changing up the entire route weekly.
We were inspired by multiple influences to create this ride and once we'd seen what other cities had created around their bike cultures, we brought Toronto's original weekly bike party & social cycling event to life! People getting together, having good clean fun, building community & breaking up the monotony of life are keystones to the experience. Toronto Cruisers was born in 2013, officially started riding in 2014 & we've since inspired & supported other rides locally as well as internationally. We continue to encourage new rides in different cities based on the same principles we hold dear.
Toronto Cruisers is a collection of people coming together from varied backgrounds with a common thread - love of social cycling. Leads volunteer their time, talents & efforts. If you're interested in helping out, let's talk! We're always on the lookout for allies to help make each ride a success!
Toronto Cruisers has no external funding, but are always looking for potential partners. We are entirely self funded & have instituted a recommended donation program since 2020 in order to keep the project alive. Our members, riders & friends put in the time, effort & hours to make this event happen. Our many thanks & respects to them all. If you're in a position to help support what we do, you can Donate directly at this link through our webstore. Many thanks to you all!
As part of the Toronto Cruisers mandate, we also have bonus rides during the year, which typically include supporting Bike Party, Bike Rave & the infamous Nuit Blanche ride among others. Please visit our social media accounts for further information about ourselves & our events.
