In their functionality mopeds are somewhere between bikes and motorcycles. Their batteries are charged electrically and they don’t come with the licensing and safety requirements of larger motor bikes.

A stroll through the streets of any city is bound to lead to discoveries of places tucked away from sight, but rarely are one’s discoveries public city projects that have been made inaccessible to its citizens.

Dylan Reid reveals the unlikely whereabouts of this park that was designed to commemorate the landing of thousands of desperate Irish immigrants who escaped the Irish famine in 1847.
This Thursday will be the official launch of Toronto’s exciting new bike magazine, “Dandyhorse.” Named after the 19th century predecessor to the modern bicycle, this magazine aims to serve as “a one-stop-shop for anyone who loves bicycles in Toronto,” addressing current and prospective issues relating to the city’s sizable biking community. Check out their website for more info.

Will Dandyhorse be available (either in dead-tree or electronic version) here in Montréal?
Hi Maria- apparently one of the magazine’s writers, Adam Popper, will be distributing a few copies of Dandyhorse to Velo Quebec and some local bike shops when he relocates to Montreal in September
Hello Maria, Chloe and others,
Thank you for your interest in Dandyhorse Magazine. The first issue turned out well. It is now available for free at Velo Quebec’s La Maison des Cyclistes (1251 rue Rachel Est) and Revolution (1757 rue Amherst).
More places coming soon.
Happy reading and cycling!
