Photos and Video from the Ice Bike Races

Last night I went and checked out Icycle 2010, the Ice Bike Races held at Dufferin Grove Park every year.

Beforehand, I met up with Todd and James Schwartz (of TheUrbanCountry.com) at 3-Speed (I highly recommend their sirloin burger) and we chatted about cycling, Toronto neighbourhoods and Chinese New Year.

We then walked over to the park and enjoyed a fun evening of people racing bikes around a sheet of ice!

Zoom!  Thrills, Chills and Spills!

BlogTO has an excellent run-down of the evening.

Here are some photos and video from the Races:

(the first two are from the Mens Finals, the last is from the “Rubber Race” with normal bikes, so it’s a lot slower)
