I attended the first-ever "suburban" Critical Mass last Sunday. The crowd was somewhat small, but it didn't deter us from heading up, down and all around some of Toronto's biggest traffic sewers and experiencing that "other half" of the city from the top of a two wheeler.
The event (much like its big downtown brother) will now be a monthly event and will take place on the second Sunday of every month at 15:00 meeting on the north-west corner of Yonge & Eglinton.

Here's some pictures from the day...
This was roughly our route.
Getting instructions from our leader Jacob at Yonge & Eglinton.
Deciding between Critical Mass or Critical Manners. We went with "manners" due to the smaller nature of the crowd.
Yonge Street through North Toronto...
Hogg's Hollow.
Sheppard & Bessarion...
A Don Mills subdivision in the Sheppard E & Don Mills area.
Crossing over the 401 at Don Mills Rd.
Don Mills Rd...
Bayview underpass (at Lawrence E).
I never grew-up anywhere near this underpass, but it's always stuck in my mind since I was a kid and passed under it once. It was a bit of a thrill to ride my bike through it to be honest.
Next month's "suburban" Critical Mass will be heading west from Yonge & Eglinton, possibly as far as Rexdale! It will take place on August 10th.
Hope to see some of you there!
