Coming from Calgary with a team of 5 - can people loan us bikes?


G'day everyone. I used to work with The Ride To Conquer Cancer as a Ride Guide in Calgary for two years. Now me and four of my colleagues who also worked on The Ride are coming to ride in Toronto this June!

We would rather not have to bring bikes from Cowtown to T.O. Does anyone have access to any older road or hybrid bikes that we could loan for the event? There may even be some donations to your page in exchange for bikes!

Get in touch with me here or at bradleyarthur1@yahoo.ca.

Thanks and see you all in June!

Can't help with a loaner bike, but two years ago I rented one from Endurosport in Leaside. It was a great bike (Nineteen)...As I understand they are renting Cervelo S1's now. The cost was quite reasonable and with a really good bike, maybe your team can consider riding the miles course instead of KM! If you call them with everyone's height, they will reserve them for you.

Thanks for the idea Slalom. How far from downtown TO is Leaside?

I'm pretty sure that Gears in Port Credit also rent high quality bikes: www.gearsbikeshop.com

G'day there, I would have to get back to you with the sizes. we are a team of 2 guys and 3 girls. The guys would would probably take a large road frame, say around 56-58 cms. The girls are all fairly tall and would probably take about 52 - 54 cms. We have a team meeting planned for this week and we will be discussing this and many other things.

Do you have bikes to lend us? If so, what style or make of bikes?

I have two bikes sitting in my garage that you can borrow, however... they are mountain bikes...
You are welcome to use them if you can't find any to use. They do need to be serviced as they haven't been used in a while... Let me know what you think.
