Meet your neighbour Monday

Toronto is a small enough city that people on a similar path will eventually cross each other.

Thankfully with more and more people wanting to document their love for the growing cycling culture
and their love for Toronto a subculture of Bicycle inspired bloggers is vibrant in Toronto.

And like a well maintained bike path there is always room for more.

Please welcome Bespoke(s) Toronto.

Hope to cross paths.

May Memories

The Bicycle Factory

It's comforting to know that here in Toronto we can ride stylish and smile while the wind takes us across a great city.

But what would it take to share that smile?




Please take 5 minutes out of your day to Join the Bicycle Factory.
You could help send smiles across the world through the power of building 5000 bicycles.

By registering you could also win some cool prizes and the chance to win a life changing trip to Ghana to deliver the bicycles.

There are more things in life that unite us than divide us.
If you already know what a bicycle can do, share it.

Then share it again.

Spoke N Word

The spoke card can be a style statement of who you are and where you've been.



I love this story.

Cycle to Sakura

This weekend may be your last chance to wander in the winter like bloom by the pond.

Taking a bike to see Sakura or Cherry Blossoms in High Park may be the quickest way.

Parking is a bitch.

Too bad there isnt a Bixi stand at the Grenadier.



Cheers.

YYC TO YYZ

Last week I had the pleasure meeting up with two of Calgary's finest when it comes

to promoting a bicycle friendly environment in one of Canada's up and coming cities.

Connected through a network of fashion forward friends and possibly family I was able to meet

up with Kristi Woo who is the brainchild behind Riyoko Urban Bike wear and a member of the Cyclepalooza steering commitee,

and Richard Zach who is a professor at the University of Calgary, V.P of Bike Calgary and part of Calgary Cycle Chic.

I asked them to crash the Toronto Cyclists Union's members night at the Free Times Cafe.

Over beer, brisket and split pea soup we had a great discussion on Friends, Family,

the future of Toronto and Calgary, and of course bikes.

After the Freetimes, we took to the lane and backstreets to recreate the Kyra and Tully poster which adorned their backroom wall.

Matching white bikes rented from Curbside blended perfectly into an Argyle St night ride.

We ended up at Watusi for some more good times and Thursday night charm.

A few steamed buns with smoked pork belly and arugula and it was already

1 am and we're back on Dundas parting ways in Roncy for either a late night chat or nap.

Calgary and Toronto aren't that different.

Streets, People, Bikes, Fashion, Good times.

Cheers.
