Original Toronto Star caption: Parkikng at half-staff. The owner of this bicycle actually left it locked in a conventional manner to a signpost on Queen's Quay yesterday. But the bike was in a spot that workers needed to dig up for the new transit line to Harbourfront; so it was hoisted out of harm's way.
