As part of its mandate, the Toronto Bicycling Network (TBN) organizes a series of educational events addressing the varied interests of its members and other Toronto area cyclists. Our evening seminars, generally held on nights that won't conflict with your cycling schedule feature speakers drawn from the TBN membership and the cycling community at large.
TBN Education events are presented without charge unless explicitly noted otherwise and are open to the general public.
If you have any suggestions for topics you'd like to see covered in a future Education event or know of a particularly good speaker who will be of interest to our members, please contact TBN Education Director, Dinsmore Roach at education@tbn.ca
