It is officially biking weather, and for many people in Toronto, that means dusting off their bikes and hitting a trail or the streets of the city.
It’s important to know the basics of bike riding in Toronto. It’s just as important to get that bike in tip-top shape for the summer days. It’s key to know the best places around the city, whether you need a quick tune-up, a larger repair, or just an emergency tire change.
Here are 14 of the best bike shops in Toronto to make sure your ride is in the best hands.
