Weston: Home of the Bicycle Mural
Lawrence Ave and S Station St
This mural is located next to the mural series “Weston: Then and Now” on the same building at The York West Active Living Centre and may appear to be a continuation of the series.
The mural is titled: "Weston: Home of the Bicycle" and celebrates Weston’s history as “the home of the bicycle” due to its connection to the Canadian Cycle and Motor Co. Ltd. The cycle giant’s 232,000-square-foot head office and factory were once located in Weston from 1917 to 1983.
The image shows cyclists on the recreational trail along the Humber River with the 150-year-old Weston CNR Bridge in the background. The mural looks like a typical day on the trail, with the use of brush and paint mimicking a stencil style coming together to form detailed imagery of the foliage surrounding most of the trail as well as its typical occupants.
