The Bicycle Mayor of Toronto, Femmes & Friends, and the Friends for Life Bike Rally invite you to celebrate International Women’s Day by accelerating action for gender equality and learning how to bike. Did you know that biking was a form of radical resistance early feminists (the Suffragettes) used to advance their right to vote and own property?
