Bike Month 2015 has come and gone, but I had some memorable cycling experiences. Here are a few more photos from some events in York Region that I participated in.York Region Pedalpalooza - Tom Taylor Trail in Newmarket
Myles from Spoke O Motion set up some bike demos. A quality bike makes such a difference in your cycling experience. I rode my first tandem and fat bike!
Tom from Bike Sports showed off some different types of bikes including an electric bike. Going faster and further with some power assistance makes me want to use a bike for more trips. Pat from Smart Commute was there with her new e-bike.
Vaughan Bicycle User Group hosted two rides. The Napa Valley Bike Lane celebration went from Sonoma Park to McMichael Gallery in Kleinberg.

The other Vaughan BUG ride was a Peter Rupert Bike Lane Celebration. Starting from Walmart at Major Mackenzie / McNaughton, we biked south on Peter Rupert/Confederation to Hwy 7 with a stop for refreshments at McDonald's, and back north on the Bartley Smith Greenway.
I participated in the Toronto Bike Network's Dim Sum Ride. The ride was led by Fred (who I previously met at Bike to Work Day Newmarket), and had about 10 cyclists. We started at Finch Subway Station and headed north to Markham for an authentic chinese cuisine near Pacific Mall.

Bike Month York Region had many other events, like bike valets at festivals, charity rides, mountain bike races, and kids bike camps.
I'm all geared up for more cycling through the summer!
Here's another video to get you inspired to ride your bike.
