Growing up in Toronto, there was a pretty tough gang that was based in Christie Pits. They called themselves the Christie Pits Boys (original, I know) but yeah, they were actually quite a bunch of bad-asses, lots of stabbings and they famously jacked Bloor Cycle by swarming the whole place and running out with almost all the bikes on the floor. Bloor Cycle used to be across the street from Sweet Pete's up on Bloor but they closed down in the '90s. There were 4 or 5 bike shops up there at one time...
