I've been looking forward to the resumption of the Community Bicycle Network's Speaker Series all winter. I missed the 2005 events and heard they were very good, so am very excited at the news that CBN is presenting From Scorchers to Alley Cat Scrambles: the amazing history of the bicycle in Toronto.

Speaker Steve Brearton will give an overview of the history of cycling in Toronto... "the story of the revolutionary changes to transportation in the city and how the bicycle contributed to improving our roads, liberation of women and modernizing consumerism, tourism and professional sport."

It takes place at Mountain Equipment Co-op on March 29th (next wednesday) at 7:30 p.m. MEC is at 400 King St. W. (just east of Spadina). They have a ton of bikeracks out front, so don't worry about parking.
