Monday August 12th, 2024 SOLD OUT
A $50 deposit is required to reserve your seat and will be reimbursed after the Rally to participants who use the service. If you don’t get on the bus, your deposit will not be refunded.
PRE-RALLY TRANSPORT TO TORONTO
Participants coming from outside Toronto for Departure are eligible to be reimbursed up to $100 for transportation (VIA train, bus, car mileage, airfare). Please keep your receipt! Instructions will be given the week of the Rally for you to submit it for reimbursement.
If you need your gear and/or bike transported to Toronto separately (for instance, VIA Rail doesn’t allow bikes on the trains) that will also be arranged starting in June.
Please contact bikerally@pwatoronto.org if you have any questions about accommodations or transportation.
