Have you ever been a part of a bike posse?
I have had the opportunity a few tmes in my day and I must tell you, it’s good fun.
Riding a bike in a group is a great way to spend an evening. You can meet new people, connect with friends, explore new parts of your city, watch the sun set over the beautiful Thames River, get some exercise, and it’s free! All you need is a bike and preferably some snacks if an impromptu picnic break happens (which I can assure you, will happen on every ride).
To be clear, this is not a protest; it is a fun social activity that takes place on bikes. All are welcome to join. We’ll mostly stick to bike trails and paths to keep things simple and safe for everyone involved.
The only rule will be to respect your fellow riders and all other street users – that includes pedestrians (including those hard core runners), rollerbladers, and drivers.
When: Wednesday’s at 7:00 PM
Duration: 1 hour
What to bring: Your bike, a friend, a drink, and a snack if you'd like.
Where: Ivey Park at the Forks of the Thames, near Simcoe's Landing.

cool! @ matt thomas, you're the cutest!
What a bad picture. If you want to see that, and my many other faces, I'll be there on Wednesday.
This will be a regular thing I hope? In TO this Weds & next :-(
@Rosa Luxemburg my bet is every Wednesday.
Yes, we'll be doing this every Wednesday, weather permitting...
I changed the time to 6pm. Went for a ride last night and 7 is just a bit too late for now, perhaps when we get closer to summer we can change to 7pm.
I'm down. See you there.
Excellent, haven't seen you since you buzzed past on campus a while ago.
I've never rode in a group. Will have to try to get a few Wednesdays off from work (yea, I work evenings).
Hmm, not too many people wearing helmets. =(
The ride is on for 6pm, weather should be great!
Last night was awesome!
And we do it all over again tonight! Look forward to seeing everyone come out again.
Me too! Super stoked!
Tomorrow's weather is looking great...
Here is a photo from a couple weeks ago...

We have had a lot of fun thus far on Wednesday nights. You...yeah you, should join us.
Looking forward to this tomorrow. What route should we try this time?
I was thinking about the Ridout bike path... that's all I've got so far.
Thunderstorms? How hardcore is this group...
big time hard core, but the sky's look'n blue blue blue!
Tonight's ride will be heading toward the Wester Fair Carousel Room for the unveiling of the Transportation Master Plan!!! Free food will be served...
Aww. Food and planning, two things I love. Sorry to have missed it. In Toronto this month :-(
Bike ride is set to leave at 7pm tonight, trying it out a bit later... hope you all can make it!
Great ride tonight. It's nice that the weather is improving, and I hope to make it out more.
i missed it~ i should check my mail~~:-( expecting the next time
a throw back to classier times: http://londonfuse.ca/blog/forest-city-bicycle-club
Our group collided with another bicycle group. And then Ryan, Kevin and Matt got a bit silly.

6pm or 7pm tonight?
7pm
check check 7pm it is!
I have a birthday party tonight! I will miss it AGAIN! :(
Happy b-day.
Fun ride tonight. Has anyone ever used software to track their journey? Something like My Tracks: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.maps.mytracks
I've used RunMeter for the iPhone to track rides when I'm out on my own. Like many of the apps it outputs a google map, spreadsheet or a kml/kmz file. I typically forget to turn the app on though. here is a link to one of the maps from a ride I took last month up to the unlab and back:

Longest day of the year, but a hot one too. Who's in for a short trip to Vic or Gibbons park? BYOB and a frisbee
I'm going to try and come but we got back into town super early this morning, so not sure if I will be awake (yes, I'm old) and I hurt my legs this week so I am not sure if they will be up to it. If I'm there I'm there.
I'm taking a pass on this one. It's too darn humid out today.
Had a great time a few weeks ago, but haven't been able to make it out since. (Had this tab open in my browser for a month or so.) Hope to see you next week!
How did the hot ride end up?
It was nice. About six of us braved the heat for a jolly jaunt around the river.
It is on like Donkey Kong tonight folks. Remember, byob&b.
Can't wait!
Super looking forward to this tonight, need the exercise.
crap, forgot about the time change to 6pm from 7pm, hope to still see everyone
Tonight's ride saw 9+1 peeps+dog out for a leisure ride:

An extension on last night's history lesson from Ryan:
London Street Railway Company
http://londonfuse.ca/blog/london-street-railway-company
Just a heads up, I won't be making it tonight (along with 3 other people) because of the heat. I'm a wuss.
You're not the only one. It's very humid out.
Was really looking forward to it, but with the heat and thunderstorm watch, probably not the best night to be out.

Woah, it's Wednesday night, you know what that means:
sorry for the break up of things at the end tonight folks. A washroom break, the bugs and the dark all lead to some confusion. Next time we'll be more 'organized'.
