Bike lane bike shop provides commuters with neighbourly service
Cycle Therapy opens its doors to Toronto's East-end community
East-end cycling commuters have a new resource to help keep them on the road.
On July 17, Cycle Therapy opens its doors alongside one of Toronto's newest bike lanes,
at the corner of Dundas Street East and Boston Avenue, just east of Carlaw.
An open, welcoming space that emphasizes service over sales, Cycle
Therapy focuses on the needs of the urban cyclist. The shop specializes
in repairs and will offer regular public workshops on basic bike maintenance.
"Our goal is to make cycling a more viable primary mode of transportation,
providing similar service standards as those available to motorists" says Tomás
Berinstein, the store's founder. "You can get an oil change at 7:00
a.m. on a weekday, but good luck trying to get your flat tire patched."

Halloween CM 2003
We were 50 at the
start.
Or so.
We were 15 at the end.
Ready for beer.
There were 7 bike cops.
Some played good cop.
But most were bad.
7 is not a lucky number.
There were 12 tickets issued.

The Cork
I love to
cork.
It's certainly one of the most important things I learned
at Critical Mass. It's okay to cork. It's okay to stand up for
yourself and other cyclists. Even drivers get it. Anyone
can do it. It just takes a bit of guts.

Olmo vs. Trek
Bloor Street, Tuesday
3:40PM
"Olmo is having a nice day of rolling along the streets in the sunshine.
Heading east along Bloor toward Christie, a roadie in full gear pulls
up beside me on a high-priced Trek bike at the Montrose traffic light.

Bike Culture
Bike
Culture
Bike Culture is underground culture.
The only coverage of Bike Week (fortnight, really) in the
larger media that I could find was The Star and a little bit
on the CBC. I kept checking the Globe, Post, Sun, CTV, CITY(!),
Global, CFTO ... nada.
