"Coldest Day of the Year Bike Ride"-Wed Jan 30th/2008

Join "Smokey" from the Toronto Community Bike Network Wed Jan 30/08 for the Coldest Day of the Year Bike Ride. Smokey will be riding his 'long john' bike, wearing his 'long johns' starting at 12 Noon at Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto, ON Canada.

In this video 'Smokey' talks to Toronto Crime Stoppers School Officer Constable Scott Mills about registering bicycles online at www.torontopolice.on.ca by clicking on the picture of the bicycle with the bar code, and reporting shady pawn shops fencing stolen bicycles anonymously to Crime Stoppers by calling 416-222-TIPS (8477) or clicking on 'SUBMIT A TIP' online at www.222tips.com . Together we will strive to prevent bicycle theft in Toronto.

nice police promo, question? Does the registry work, does it get the bikes back to its owners.

Bikes are shipped out the city as soon as they are stolen, make sense for the criminal. Maybe we should start thinking like them in order to catch them, somthing the cops cannot do.
