Next to the Charlevoix Bridge in the Point Saint Charles neighbourhood is this unusual bike trail.

That is hilarious! Hahahahaha. I blame the PQ for a stunt like that.

CartLegger: 22nd May 2007 - 11:29 GMT

I guess its a one way in trail because its assumed the rider will fall off and be rolling around on the grass in blurry hilarity.

Peter: hahahaha- i love it!

You know, I had never thought of the unicycle bit. I was thinking that this was another example of a society that cannot afford enough doctors or school textbooks spending my tax dollars on a questionable art piece. I can think of so many potholes where this asphalt would be sorely needed. But unicycles? Hmmmm, could this piece actually have a functional value?

I can't believe I've never seen this, it isn't far from my house but I guess I don't ride along the canal nearly enough.

I guess someone has to mow those four tiny dots of grass.

EvilGentleman: 17th Jun 2007 - 18:11 GMT

I still have no clue why this thing exists.

groovehouse: What a great art installation!

rorlan: i have seen rollerbladders using it!

Cherry Blossoms in Brooklyn


A couple enjoys a springtime walk under the cherry blossoms that lap over the sidewalk that skirts the west side of Park Place in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.
