After three years of ‘hounding’ Mary Margaret McMahon and her ilk have convinced the City to install 10 new bike racks at Woodbine subway station. This stuff doesn’t just magically happen – somebody makes it happen…and often that someone in Mary Margaret.

Bike Sauce
Give us your poor, your rusty, your jumbled mass of old bicycles….Bike Sauce will breathe new life into them. Your donated bicycles and bike parts will be used to put more bikes on the road and help people develop bike repair skills. Bike Sauce is an east-end volunteer-run, registered non-profit dedicated to promoting cycling in Toronto. It has three goals:
1. To refurbish old bikes and help people learn to repair their own bikes
2. To get more people cycling
3. To advocate for better cycling in the city
Does this sound like something you want to know more about? Something you want to help make happen? They need volunteers of all descriptions – from bike fixers to tea-makers and cheerleaders.
