Kids, if you are passionate about helping the environment, and love riding your bike, you may want to join Beach children’s entertainer extraordinaire, Chris McKhool on Saturday, May 24, when he attempts to break the Guinness Book of World Records record for bicycle bell ringing.

Chris will be part of the big Green Toronto Festival May 23 and 24 being held in Dundas Square at Yonge and Dundas Streets, downtown. He will be performing his already popular and award-winning Earth, Seas & Air concert which includes his new song Walk and Roll.

“The last few years there has been a movement in schools to get kids back on bikes, or walking to school,” said McKhool, a tireless crusader for environmental awareness. “Anything to get them out of cars!”

Eco-schools, a program developed through the Toronto District School Board, is looking for ways for schools to improve their carbon footprint. The TDSB has hired Chris to perform his Earth, Seas & Air concert in more than 75 area schools.

McKhool was reading that the current Guinness Book of World Records record for bike bell ringing was set in Germany in 2003. At that time 503 participants took part. Chris is hoping to get more than 600 bicycle enthusiasts ringing away in Dundas Square at noon on May 24.

“It will be fun to all come together to celebrate this marvellous machine, the bicycle,” he said. “Let’s see if we can break the record.”

Yonge Street will be closed for the two-day event so it’s the perfect opportunity to cycle down to the big Green Festival.

Then bike down to the Toronto Green Festival and be part of a Guinness World Record.
