Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Beauty and the bike: It's almost as if Big Sister were watching over this cyclist as he makes his way up Jarvis St.; north of Dundas St. We don't know if the pedal pusher eyed the billboard above him; but it's a safe bet that he was thinking of all the money he's saving on gas and parking.
