The big red @TorontoFC comes home with a Saturday, March 9, 2013 game at #Toronto Rogers Centre with a match against Sporting Kansas City starting at 1:30pm. Fireworks go off in the covered stadium during the opening ceremonies and the Toronto team took the Sporting team 2 to 1. Both of Toronto's goals were by Forward Robert Earnshaw which took place in the first half. Kansas City brought Forward C.J. Sapong to start the second half and the pressure on the home team paid off when Sapong's pass went from Nielsen to Claudio Bieler who scored in the 77th minute.

"Earnshaw capitalized on an errant back pass by MLS Defender of the Year Matt Besler to score after three minutes and the Welshman buried a penalty kick to give Toronto an early 2-0 lead. Although Sporting KC designated player Claudio Bieler pulled one back late, Toronto sealed their first win in 15 league matches dating back to the 2012 season and the first in Ryan Nelsen's tenure.The result handed Sporting KC their first loss in 13 regular season matches, also dating back to 2012, and left them one match short of tying their all-time club record of 14 straight undefeated."

The @BicycleShow had a massive amount of two wheeled, human powered transportation vehicles for sale, many at deep show discounts, but the May 1-3 event also had many exciting demonstrations included in the show admission. Four large areas were setup for the Toronto BMX Jam, the CFO/AM BMX Flatland competition, Toronto Mountain Bike Championships and the Great Lakes Winter Classic Bike Polo Tournament. For those looking to make sure their rides are cherry there was a test ride zone.
The Bicycle Show is happening at the Better Living Centre within Exhibition Place.

Feeling like a pro skater is easy when you see the 'passion that unites us all' wrap around the Zamboni that cleans the ice at City Hall. The vinyl treatment was part of the after-the-NHL-strike-fan-zone thingy. They must have forgotten to take it back so you can still see the blue and white themed vehicle whipping around the rink
Ten dollars gets you a pair of rental skates for two hours and you can pay extra for socks and mitts.

Studs on the tires and craziness in the heart - get ready #Toronto for another round of racing bikes on ice. The Dufferin Grove Park skating rink becomes a slippery race track with singles and tandem bikes running where only people on skates are usually found. The fun starts with a meetup at 6:30 pm, then the racing goes from 7-10 pm. The 12th annual bike couriers race offers spills, chills and hopefully some great costumes - you can see more photos from the 2012 race on my post here.
