Bike Week 2006

It's Bike Week, everybody! Just in time to celebrate and take part in the activities happening in Toronto, I've had Cycle Solutions ready my bike for the season. It was really nice to go back there and see the place thriving. There were even a few faces I recognized and one that recognized me -- Matt, the guy who helped me to pick out and buy my current bike about five years ago. He and an associate (not from Cycle Solutions) are also busy at work on a charitable foundation they've created.

The organization, Canadian Children's Cycling Foundation, aims to get underpriveledged youth interested in biking as a healthy and competitive past-time by providing the equipment and the motivation. The org's first event, a fashion show of active wear sponsored by MEC, is to be held on Friday, June 2 at Revival (783 College St).

I'm off to replace my rear brake pads and then lunch with Shane on Queen. I hope you're all having a great, sweaty day and that you manage to enjoy some good single-track/bike path time soon. Happy riding!
