Bike Share Toronto is offering free rides on Wednesdays all month long in partnership with the Canadian Automobile Association South Central Ontario.

Whether you’re a CAA member or not, you can hop on a bike and go for a ride for free on Wednesdays. The rides are limited to 30 minutes, but you can go on unlimited 30-minute rides!

“CAA has a strong history of supporting cycling and road safety in communities. We are always looking for meaningful ways to give back to our members and their communities.  Our support of Bike Share Toronto is a great example of that and provides an opportunity for Torontonians to explore and utilize the city’s cycling infrastructure,” Rhonda English, Chief Marketing Officer, CAA South Central Ontario, said.
