Like the Olympics, But With Bike Messengers

2006_11_13bikegate.jpg

Seriously, who needs the Olympics when you can have a horde of bike messengers take over the streets of Toronto for one long weekend. According to Unknown Toronto, we'll be hosting the 2008 Cycle Messenger World Championships.

The event is usually held over the labour day weekend and attracts messengers from all over the world. We don't recommend going to Jet Fuel that weekend.

We recommend tat you DO go to Jet Fuel that weekend, the races won't be over Labour Day weekend & there will be attractions, entertainments and vendors with unique sights & experiences for the citizens of Toronto.

+Plus, unlike the Olympics, the city will actually turn a tidy profit on our event, no taxpayer funded boondoggle or bidless contracting for anything we arrange.
