Very French (i.e. la crappé!)

The life-ring is great fun, but that ship needs to sink on an hourly schedule, so that people can gather around and watch it like Old Faithful.

I can't really describe how happy those hipster captains in a giant lifesaver make me.

I personally think it's a step up from the rotting detritus and the foul smelling algae that plagues the Lower Don.

And shouldn't the blue-pantsed unicycle rider have the suspiciously-phallic peg-thing sticking out instead of the pink pantsed unicycle? You know what I'm getting at.

Noo!! this is my secret bike path. It's the only one that's not full of baby carriages and slow-moving sightseers blocking the path riding or walking side by side. People that do ride here actually seem to like to get a workout. It's the up-side to having to go on the Baview extension to get to it.

I understand it perfectly. Admiral Giambrone had hired the ship to provide transit on the Don (Steve Munro's Swan Boats deemed not expensive enough) but the unicyclists, being tall by virtue of standing on the wheel, got chopped off at the waist by the Eastern bridge.

The big life preserver, I get. The little ship, not so much. The legs on a stick are just creepy. Still, I'm all for anything that brings people to this lonely stretch of bicycle highway. Nothing draws people together like puzzling over art.

That's for you to decide, Amanda.

Wait, I'm confused. What do the disembodied unicycle riders have to do with the ecology of the Don?
