130th Surfman Award: Jack Layton 1950-2011

We will deeply miss you Jack, you were so rare and left your mark on all those that you helped. Truly," love is better than anger, hope better than fear and optimism better than despair." I will pass on your words and dreams of a better Canada to my 1 year old as he grows up. Thank You.

This art work was at Jack's memorial, and I thought it was just so beautiful showing Jack riding his bike off into the sunset, that I took a picture of it. There were just so many people that showed up over the last week in Ottawa and Toronto, that I am thankful that so many of us appreciated the rarity and power that was JACK!!!

129th Surfman Award: The Bicycle Film Festival

Once a year, The Bicycle Film Festival makes its way to Toronto, after visiting New York, Paris, London, San Francisco, Athens, Amsterdam and a host of many other cities around the world. Last weekend Toronto cyclists were treated to a number of very good films with a bicycle motif. I had a great time and can't wait for next year.
