ENLESCE x Bike Depot Group Ride & Pop-Up
Our First Group Ride & Pop-up in Toronto
On Saturday, May 31, we brought ENLESCE to Toronto for the very first time, and what a day it was.
Together with our friends at Bike Depot Leaside, we hosted our first Toronto Group Ride & Pop-Up, giving local riders the chance to experience the ENLESCE Capsule Collection in person, to try it on, feel the quality, and find their fit.
The weather? Brutal. It was a cold, windy morning with temperatures dipping below 10°C when we rolled out at 8 a.m. But that didn’t stop the city’s cycling community from showing up in force.
A Chilly Start. A Warm Welcome.
More than 50 riders joined us for a 60km loop from Bayview Leaside to Markham and back. The pace was smooth, the conversations flowed, and the energy was contagious. There’s something special about riding with new people for the first time, strangers becoming friends, united by two wheels and a shared love for the road.
We wrapped up with post-ride coffee, drinks, and pastries, before diving into our all-day pop-up at Bike Depot. Riders stuck around, tried on kits, swapped stories, and just hung out, the way it should be.
Giveaways, Raffles and Community
To thank everyone who showed up, we offered exclusive ride-day discounts and early access to the collection, and one lucky winner walked away with an ENLESCE kit. Because building a brand is about more than products, it’s about people. And Toronto? You made that loud and clear.
Huge shoutout to Chazz Pitts and the entire team at Bike Depot Leaside for helping bring this event to life. And to every single rider who came out despite the cold, thank you. We can’t wait to come back.
