Is number two on the New York Times' most-emailed stories list as I write this:

Toronto Journal: In a cyclist-friendly city, a black hole for bikes.

Several weeks ago, I was on the Queen car. As it passed by Kenk's shop near Strachan, the car fell silent as people turned to look at this now infamous shrine. Then there was a low hub-bub punctuated by "three thousand bikes!"

Addendum

There's a "God loves you" pamphlet tucked into the spokes of a small wheel on Kenk's door.

Various graffitti includes "Bad Bikema" and "Center for Poor Karma and Pain Research."

Addendum - II

Towards the end of August, a new piece of graffitti showed up on Kenk's wall: "Thou shalt not steal," signed by ... "The Vindicator."
