Yeah there was a dude riding a black one of those at CM last month.

I can't wait to have a garage so I can get a hiwheel. Although in the back of my head I do think I could get cocky and do this.

Funny you should say that Dr. As I was traipsing around San Francisco today I came across a hi wheel in need of some TLC. Too bad it wasn't a "plane friendly" type of purchase. Would have been interesting trying to get it through customs in my carry on

The Halton Police Auction is this coming Saturday in Oakville, and includes "over 140 bicycles".

Not sure if this will be any good, but maybe a good place to pick up a frame for a fixie conversion? The toronto city auctions are usually a bust as the good frames get scoped out beforehand and snatched up quickly..

There is a U of T prof who rides one of those. Love the hi-wheel tho. There is a guy in Vienna who makes modern hi-wheels. They are sick. I got to try one when I was last there. I miss the Old Time Bike Races they used to do at the Win-Del Velodrome every other year. Folks would come from as far as Florida to "compete". Compete is a strong word as everyone just kind of puttered around the track. It takes some confidence to ride 8 feet off the ground while hitting the banking. Good times indeed.

also at BCE place they have a little exhibit with various different concept drawings and mockups for the waterfront revitalization project. I was pretty disappointed by all of them, but they are a far sight better than whats there now. Worth a look if you're in the area.
