Tucked away in Toronto’s Leaside neighbourhood, within arm’s reach of some of the city’s most popular cycling routes—including the Don River Trail and Bayview Avenue, the ÉTAPE 22 studio is a hidden gem and haven for Toronto cyclists. The space features a concise selection of espresso drinks and imported beverages to be enjoyed in the private courtyard, which serves as the ideal post-ride hangout for small groups and solo riders.

Inspired by the winding streets and unassuming storefronts of Tokyo, The Studio at 864 Millwood Road takes a similar “less-is-more approach” that defies conventional retail standards. Étape 22 is not a bike shop so we aspired to create a showroom-like atmosphere that integrates cycling, design, culture and lifestyle.

This philosophy carries through to the product offering, with the space featuring a thoughtfully curated selection of lifestyle goods and brands whose products deliver a balance of performance and aesthetics.

The Studio at 864 Millwood Road is an invitation to experience cycling retail from a different perspective. As the sport continues to evolve and innovate, so should the customer experience. The ultimate goal with this space is to take you out of Toronto’s urban sprawl and into a unique environment that integrates the best products and tasteful design with a cycling-centric lifestyle.
