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!
BlogTO has an excellent run-down of the evening.
Here are some photos and video from the Races:
