Scaffoldring

Torontoist reader Rajan tipped us off to this construction hoarding on Scollard Street in Yorkville, which demonstrates a little creative scaffolding. If one of our iconic post-and-ring bike stands gets in the way, why not work it? No, this isn’t a ring bolted onto the structure; it’s an existing bike post incorporated right into the supports. The scaffold uses an identical gauge of pipe as the bike racks, so it was a pretty easy mod. We assume, however, that all contractor permits are above board and this doesn’t pose any sort of risk to the pedestrians. Just be sure to lock your bike to the outside, and hope you haven’t used it on the day the hoarding comes down.
