One of things that was mentioned one the ride was some magical figure 8 velo track and there were quite a few 'naysayers' and 'photoshop callers'. I reckon it looks pretty real to me. It also looks pretty awesome! Imagine the extra speed you'd get on the way down under the bridge!
***It was designed by John Consalati and built by the Toronto Messenger
Community as far as I know. Talk to Johnny Jetfuel and Peter Lord,
they can fill you in on the details.
From 1996-99 this mythic track hosted 100 rider maximum competitions
in Vancouver and Toronto. ***
It eventually stopped due to lack of sponsorship. I never rode it
but heard the incredible stories from my brother and others
who had competed in one of the many Alley Cat Scrambles
