The fabulous bike stencil art of Janet Attard is being honoured as part of the book Stencil Nation by Russell Howze. The book is being released today worldwide. To celebrate, Janet is installing a beautiful display of her work in the window of the famous Pages Book Store on Queen West today. Also, drop by at 401 Richmomd for some lovely vintage and rare bicycle photos from her collection.

'As the mother of the two happy-looking boys in some of the pictures (ages 12 and 8), I want to say that It was one of the safest bike riding moments they have had. Trying to get them to school every day with inconsiderate and dangerous drivers on the road is much more dangerous. Last night they were surrounded by 340 careful conscientious bike riders who took care of them and protected them from car traffic. The only thing that was scary for them was the police sirens and brutality.

Toronto like most cities around the world is home to lots of bike culture. A funky local blog called 'She does the City' recently did a fine job summarizing the cool bike culture scene here in our own backyard. Yeah, bikes are sexy and you know it.
