Sure, Toronto, you heart your bikes, but there are other cities just as cycle-centric as you are. Tonight at CineCycle, the Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation presents a screening of VEER, a critically approved documentary that examines Portland’s (at times) wacky bike culture and shows that for many, two wheels aren’t just a choice of transportation; they’re a way of life.

PERFORMANCE: At today’s launch of the Scotiabank BuskerFest, Australia’s Alakazam will attempt to jump through a really, really small hoop (a tennis racket, de-strung we assume) faster than anyone has before. Meanwhile, Mayor David Miller returns to celebratory cake-cutting duties following his recent mayoral hoop-jumping. More than a hundred street performers, corner clowns, musicians, and contortionists will be vying for our attention over the next four days. All proceeds from the festival's entry fees go toward Epilepsy Toronto, with performers earning what money they can by passing the traditional hat. St. Lawrence Market area (50 Front Street East), 12–10 p.m., FREE (with donation).
