I wish I had heard about this earlier so I could do more promotion, but nevertheless it's not too late to celebrate Bike Hour in Toronto! I heard about it on Twitter and the Star for the first time.

The next one is Sept. 22. Everyone with a bike own this idea, so promote and observe how you like. Thanks!
