We thought it would be appropriate to organize Canada’s first bicycle powered dance parties in conjunction with International Car Free Day. On this day, the wonderfully creative folks from grassroots organization Streets Are For People encourage their fellow Torontonians to take over a parking spot (at $2/hour) and throw a “Parking Meter Party”. So we set up our pedal powered sound system right on Queen Street in Toronto on September 21, and hopefully it gave people some ideas about what Toronto could become if the city finally came to its senses and created a pedestrian zone.  Here is some video coverage of the day by NOW Magazine’s ‘Ecoholic’ columnist Adria Vasil.
