Rencontre fortuite sur deux roues en plein air et un tour
This weekend marks the 50th ride of the Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour.

Let's see if we can make that trek a little more interesting with an hour of songs about bikes and cycling.
Godspeed to those making the grueling ride of 100 to 200km... on both Saturday and Sunday.
Best song and vintage footage

Alas, this weekend's cycle tour has been postponed until July. Seems safe to open the window, though?
