Kay and Heather of the Toronto Brompton Owners group organized a pre Hallowe’en ride today, and costumes were encouraged. The start was at Christie Pits, and the route was a 10 km loop in the area that passed through some of the recent upgrades in bike infrastructure.
Brian Lam arrived with a T Rex costume.
In the interest of safety he decided to ride with head out.
It was nice to see Kay out and about after her long recovery from a knee injury.
She had a large front bag on her e-Brompton, but she said that the battery takes up a lot of room.
In one of those wonderful Toronto moments, there was also a meet up of costumed non-cyclists, so we needed a group picture.
Heather gets us organized shortly before we take off. I’m riding my X wing again, so no Brompton today.
Kay and Joe laid out today’s route.
Pier had a large speaker on the back of his Brompton, and a playlist that was Hallowe’en themed.
Carol was dressed as a bike lane. I think Patrick (seen below) was a construction zone? (correction: he was a “love cone”)
Brunswick and Bloor.
At Bathurst.
Thanks to Kay and Heather for organizing.
and thanks to everyone for coming out today. Nice to ride with you on a gorgeous day.

Kay took this video of my flying away.

Awesome cycling event in Toronto on an awesome fall day
Looks like fun. Your X-Wing bike just needs some pew-pew sound effects!
