You may lament the end of summer — and pantsless cyclists — but here at dandyhorse we love crisp autumn rides and an excuse to indulge in hot chocolate. Kick-off the season in style with dandyhorse’s first ever Food Issue at Parkdale’s Parts & Labour on October 3rd.

$7 and a pay-what-you-can donation ($3 suggested) will get you our tasty new issue, a chance to win one of two brand-spanking new Linus bikes and a special performance by LUxURY Bob.

Our first Food Issue is guest edited by Bob Blumer of the Food Network — this is a guy that bikes 1,000 kms in 10 days and calls it a vacation!

Also in this issue:

*dandyhorse pits Canadian pro rider Ryder Hesjedal against Toronto courier Kevin Barnhorst

*Two of Toronto’s best chefs concoct energy bars that actually taste good

*A cyclists’ tribute to Jack Layton

*Artwork by Jason van Horne
