Diverse Bicycle City

Over half of adults in Toronto are born outside of Canada. In 2008 the
Toronto Cyclists Union [http://bikeunion.to] teamed up with
CultureLink Settlement Services [http://culturelink.ca] to form the
Partnership for Integration and Sustainable Transportation. Our goals:
to encourage newcomers to take up cycling in their new home, and to
get involved to make Toronto a great cycling city!

This video celebrates the 2010 publication of the Toronto Cyclists
Handbook. The Handbook is available in 16 bilingual editions (English
plus Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, French, Hindi, Korean, Polish,
Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog, Tamil, Urdu
and Vietnamese.) It's an important outreach tool for the Toronto
Cyclists Union, and a great resource for newcomers to Toronto.

The publication of the Handbook has been funded by the Toronto
Community Foundation [http://tcf.ca] and Mountain Equipment
Co-operative [http://mec.ca]. The Partnership also acknowledges the
support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation [http://trilliumfoundation.org], the Bicycle Trade Association of Canada [http://btac.org], and Live Green Toronto [http://toronto.ca/livegreen].
