Freewheeling: Nine Adventurous Tales of Boys and Their Bikes

by Edward G Horner

Overview

In Freewheeling, Horner takes his readers for a ride down Memory Lane as he provides them with a thoughtful narrative of some wild bicycle-related adventures he and his friends had, as lads, growing up in Toronto.  They get into trouble in the Black Creek, get pinched by a motorcycle cop in High Park, rescue a member of their party from Catfish Pond, buy the Bike-to-End-all-Bikes and more.  

Slow paced and introspective, Horner provides us with a series of richly textured tales of his early life growing up in Toronto's, Junction.
