The Purple Pedals Project

purple_pedals_how_it_works

Want to take a spin on our new ride? For the next two weeks, Bunch is playing host to Purple Shutter, one of 6 shiny purple Y-Bikes, distributed to different people in different cities to showcase unique events, people and locations across the globe. The bikes automatically take pictures and upload them to Flickr via a digital camera mounted on the handle bars. You can follow their adventures through the Purple Pedals web-site.

Bunch is lending Purple Shutter to families in our hometown of Toronto. So if you’re interested in taking her for a spin, use the comments in this post to let us know where you would go and what you would do. We’re looking for family bike adventures that will show off our city and generate excitement about family biking.

    My family would take the bike for a tour of Roncesvalles! We’d hit Buddha Dog and Cherry Bomb fo’ sure and then kick back in Sorauren Park. We can do it anytime on the long weekend!

    Neat – how long are the bikes around for? My family won’t have the opportunity for a ride until the August 10, but we’re pretty versatile. Depending on the timing Purple Shutter could end up at Dufferin Grove Park to hang out, Scadding Court for some bike polo, Sunnyside beach, checking out the new rail trail, going for ice cream… etc.

    However the bike polo is so cool I’m going to see if we can keep Shutter for a couple of extra days! I’ll let you know!

    Hmmm… probably take it to PS kensington. Over to parkdale and beyond via the lakefront bike trail….maybe to the CNE grounds….the Junction…Out east to the Beach.

    Only problem is, we don’t have a child seat so it’ll only be me riding!
