Summer of the bike: eight cyclists who ride in style Who: Keith Jones Where: Trinity-Bellwoods Park Jones found this Quebec-made 1982 Velosport on Craigslist and immediately scrubbed off all the logos. “I didn’t like the font,” he says. He considered it a steal for $300, because it has the highest-grade Shimano parts available when it was made, and the wheels are a rare size not made anymore. The bike has already seen some major action with its new owner. Jones biked to Montreal over three days in August. This is Jones’ summer bike; his winter ride is made by Workmans, a New York company that designs sturdy, low-gravity delivery bicycles with a smaller front wheel to accommodate a basket big enough for pizza boxes.
