David, Where are you coming from?
I saw the advice to check out Hoopdriver, Urbane, Curbside and BOW. All fine bike shops, especially Hoopdriver (which is also farthest from the Harbourfront area). The reason I wonder where you are coming from is I'm wondering what you will find different in Toronto vs. your home. If I was visiting Toronto, I'd probably want to check out the urban stuff and the food scene. There are few iconic bike rides, especially accessible with a bike share bike. I might recommend either doing Tommy Thompson park, or Toronto Island by bike (the ferry ride is also fun). Those are two enjoyable rides that get you on the lake, and also with cool views of the city. Toronto is also great for "ethnic" food. Check out Kensington market, and also there are some excellent restaurants. For a unique Toronto flair I'd maybe try Dailo, or anything along those lines. If you want to go to a good restaurant, make reservations asap, as it is often difficult close to the date you want to go. I have a few restaurant recommendations, but it is hard without a mandate of what you are into. If you like museums, I'd recommend the AGO over the ROM. One thing about the bikeshare. You can get a pass, but each time you take a bike only the first 30 minutes of each ride is included. After that you pay escalating amounts depending on how long you have it out for, but again, only for each trip. This can get up there for longer rides. It might be worth it to use for a longer trip, but consider this aspect when planning. It is best for using from point A to B within the zone of the docks. Curbside, amongst others, rent bikes as well. Note that the bikeshare bikes are tanks, so not conducive to long rides.
