I found a bunch of old VHS tapes at CBN and got them transfered to DVD. The results are not pretty but they are entertaining.
In this video you'll see a few of the activists characters from the late 1990s, including "subversive" Derek Chadbourne (now of the Bike Joint), Wayne Scott (of food as fuel fame), the bike cop Vince Langdon (who's probably now regretting agreeing to appear next to some crazy activists), and Ben Smith Lea and Leslie Ashton as reps for Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists.
This segment is from around 1998, on the show Big Life with Daniel Richler, son of Mordecai Richler.
Memorable moments: "Hello, my name is Derek. I am a subversive.", "Do you have private, almost erotic dreams of a car-free city?"
Watch, enjoy, and learn your history of the current generation of cycling activists in Toronto. There might be a test.
