BIKE T.O. – Cycling To Work In Toronto

On Monday, August 31, 2009, Michael Bryant, former Ontario Attorney-General and political golden boy, was charged with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving following the death of Darcy Allan Sheppard, a bicycle courier with whom he had an altercation along a tony stretch of Toronto’s Bloor Street.

Mr. Sheppard was seen clinging to Mr. Bryant’s car and died from head injuries after he fell off.

Since then, an old debate has been reignited about bicycles and cars on Toronto streets …

Every September Labour Day weekend, the local Road Mates Club at QEW & Dixie puts some stunning eye candy on display … and I couldn’t resist capturing a few digital mementos.

Larry Bailey has kindly provided some historical perspective based on his extensive knowledge and experience restoring cars.

Then I came upon a three-wheeler which brought back a long-suppressed passion of mine from the 60s … and that led to a few present-day images of my real life on two wheels during high school.
