  1. The Star article about the cyclists on the Gardiner was a little ridiculous. Referring to Traffic Services Sgt. Jeff Redden, the article says “Redden said there was no indication cyclists from the Toronto Criterium bike race happening nearby, were involved.”

    Did anyone honestly think the riders were going to leave the race course and hop on a highway? I know there’s a lot of bike-related stuff happening right now, but that doesn’t mean they’re all connected. The article strikes me as a tad paranoid.
