Bike Collective down.

This lends itself to all sorts of ironic comments that I will leave to your imaginations.

This place is awesome and I hope it will be back up and running soon.

my neighbors were getting their house siding redone, and the workers would usually knock off early and sit around drinking for a while. One day, I came upon their pickup halfway into a church, just like that. It's a weird sight.

I was prepared to be all hatin' on cars, but I have a soft spot for old Toyotas, especially wagons and boxy vans.... but shame on the driver for busting up both a cool car and a bike kitchen!

Great line there. "Due to unforeseen circumstances the shop is closed for building upgrades."

Please join me in hoping the vehicle was insured.

Toronto's Bixi system was up for only a week before a motorist got it

Car damages 5 Bixi bikes


A car collided with a Bixi bike station on Bay Street Monday. Five bikes were damaged.
