I found a bunch of old VHS tapes at CBN and got them transfered to DVD. The results are not pretty but they are entertaining.
In this video you'll see a few of the activists characters from the late 1990s, including "subversive" Derek Chadbourne (now of the Bike Joint), Wayne Scott (of food as fuel fame), the bike cop Vince Langdon (who's probably now regretting agreeing to appear next to some crazy activists), and Ben Smith Lea and Leslie Ashton as reps for Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists.
This segment is from around 1998, on the show Big Life with Daniel Richler, son of Mordecai Richler.
Memorable moments: "Hello, my name is Derek. I am a subversive.", "Do you have private, almost erotic dreams of a car-free city?"
Watch, enjoy, and learn your history of the current generation of cycling activists in Toronto. There might be a test.

Remember the video of the New York cop body-checking a cyclist? Well he's been fired or he's resigned, depending on who you talk to.
NEW YORK - New York City police say an officer seen in a YouTube video knocking a bicyclist to the pavement during a protest has been kicked off the force, although his lawyer says his client resigned.
Police officials say Patrick Pogan was dismissed last week. He was suspended last year after pleading not guilty to criminal charges of filing false paperwork.
His lawyer, Stuart London, says his 23-year-old client resigned and expects to be vindicated at trial.
Pogan is accused of knocking Christopher Long off his bicycle without justification on June 25 during a group-organized bike ride.
Pogan had arrested Long, saying the cyclist blocked traffic and steered his bike into an officer, but charges were dismissed after the video appeared on YouTube.
