Hi everyone. Last minute wedding stuff is coming to a head, so DarrenJ will be taking over maintenance of Biking Toronto very soon. I've written a bunch of posts for the next two weeks that he'll post for me... mainly about upcoming Toronto Cycling Committee meetings and cool links I've collected recently.

I do have time to write a bit here about the CBN Poster Auction though... enough to tell you that it was great. They must've raised atleast $2000 auctioning off 12 awesome women and cycling works of art, and as of 10:00 pm (when I had to leave), about 25 I Bike T.O. shirts had been sold at $20 each. CBN did a fantastic job putting the logo on shirts of many colours, and having lots of buttons there too.

Dave Meslin MC'ed the event, and now I know why he's well known and effective... he's a great public speaker (I, on the other hand, had no idea how to introduce myself to a celebrity...) and thing weren't hurt by Shamez Amlani (of Streets are for People and P.S. Kensington) either, who was a fantastic auctioneer... getting almost every poster sold for over $100, quite a few for over $200, and one or two for $300!

Indeed a good time was had by all, and a true sense of community felt. Thanks Joe for your support and for providing that logo in support of Bikeshare. My Tee and button are conversation pieces wherever I go!
