Sep 2 10am TBN's Wednesday Wheelie Ride The nature of the Wednesday day rides known as the "Wednesday Wheelies" might be the best-kept secret in the TBN. Wednesday Wheelies are social, tourist-level rides that cover routes similar to the popular Country Cruises, but which have the glorious advantage of roads, often busy with traffic on a Sunday, being nearly deserted mid-week. |

Here's all your bikey news, in one great post. :)
Troubled Neighbourhood Salvation on Two Wheels
It is an unlikely setting for a summer camp -- but in a cordoned-off section of a Toronto Community Housing parking lot at 75 Tandridge, a wonderful pilot project has been set up where kids are soaring up and down plywood ramps decorated in vibrant graffiti, learning bicycle motocross tricks from two 20-year-old instructors hired by the TCHC.
VEER documentary tonight at CineCycle
Tonight at CineCycle, the Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation presents a screening of VEER, a critically approved documentary that examines Portland’s (at times) wacky bike culture and shows that for many, two wheels aren’t just a choice of transportation; they’re a way of life.
Bike-shop owner back in court on assault charges
Igor Kenk, the alleged thief whose massive stash of old bicycles shocked Toronto last summer, was back in court Wednesday to face his accusers in a related assault case.
Students invent way to mix cycling and beer pickup
"Anyone who has tried to carry a case of beer on their shoulder while biking knows," says Lindsey Kettel, a recent graduate from McMaster University's mechanical engineering and management program.
Hotels offer bikes as a green way to see the sights
"It's part of the desire now to step back from conspicuous consumption, and even things electronic," says Jeff Weinstein, editor of Hotels Magazine, an Oak Brook, Ill. -based trade magazine. "People want to be more authentic in their approach to travel and relaxation."
BMX park a labour of love for 60-year-old
If you're an adrenalin junkie with an eye for graffiti, it is beautiful at the BMX park at the Wallace Emerson Community Centre, a multicoloured 8,000-square-foot playground at Dufferin and Dupont Sts. packed with $40,000 to $50,000 worth of wood ramps for freestyle BMX, or bicycle motocross.
Cyclist Related Mural Launch in the heart of the Junction
Art Starts is proud to celebrate the launch of a new 400 foot bike-themed mural at the intersection of Dupont and Dundas with a community gathering on Tuesday August 25th from 6pm – 8pm. The event will feature musical performances and snacks. The artists will be on hand to answer questions and provide insights into the mural.
Roncesvalles gets a remake

Tire Trouble: How is it that cyclists stalk our sidewalks?
It was a horrible accident, but an outlier. According to the statistics collected by the city's traffic safety unit, the number of pedestrian fatalities that occurred between 2003 and 2008 is 172, with a further 12,251 incidents resulting in some kind of injury.
Toronto cyclist shot multiple times, dies.
A 22-year-old man is dead following a shooting in the north end of the city Monday.
The man was riding a bicycle in a residential neighbourhood just before 11 p. m. when a dark-coloured vehicle approached him, according to Toronto police.
Then, someone in the car fired numerous shots at the cyclist.

BikeTrain now between Toronto and Montreal
We are excited to announce a new pilot project that introduces twice daily Bike Train service between Montreal and Toronto offering bike racks onboard. The pilot will run from August 24 to October 8 allowing cyclists to take the train with their bikes - no box or disassembly required!
Toronto Star: Do cyclists need to stop at a stop sign?
The rolling stop – or, in some cycling circles, the Idaho Stop – is as popular as it is illegal, and there are those who will tell you it's also perfectly safe. Bambrick, among other cycling supporters and bloggers, is advocating its legalization, citing common sense and a compelling precedent.
Toronto Sun: Inquest needed into bike death
Whatever the precise circumstances of Jiang's death, too many cyclists think they can pick and choose between riding and speeding on roads and sidewalks at will.Or that they can obey the rules of the road until they come to a red light or stop sign, then ignore the law by riding right through them.

Safe Cycling: Cyclists Cause Less Than 10% of Accidents
While there is a public perception that cyclists are usually the cause of accidents between cars and bikes, an analysis of Toronto police collision reports shows otherwise: The most common type of crash in this study involved a motorist entering an intersection and either failing to stop properly or proceeding before it was safe to do so. The second most common crash type involved a motorist overtaking unsafely. The third involved a motorist opening a door onto an oncoming cyclist. The study concluded that cyclists are the cause of less than 10 per cent of bike-car accidents in this study.
Brampton Cyclist, 20, injured in vehicle crash
Peel police say the victim was riding westbound along Mt. McKinley Lane, near Bovaird and Airport drives, when he entered the roadway and collided with a 2008 beige Chevrolet Uplander, which was also heading in the same direction.
