Cervélo might just be the most innovative bike company in the world — and its Toronto-based headquarters is the type of place to send a tingle up and down the average roadie's spandex-clad back. One wall is entirely whiteboard — with sketches, equations, and complex diagrams offered as an inadvertent equivalent to decor. Men with rings on their pinky fingers spend their days tinkering with the latest and greatest in software applications, trying to find that optimal balance between strength, stiffness, and aerodynamics. And needless to say, there's more than enough storage on site for those who decide to cycle to work. This is where all of that P5, S5, and R5 magic starts before it makes its way to the European pro peloton.

Fireworks stores in Toronto must get busy this time of year. What better way to celebrate Victoria Day than by lighting up the sky and irritating your geriatric neighbours. The variety of fireworks available at these stores can be intimidating, but several of them are dedicated firework purveyors, so their staff are knowledgeable industry vets.

Canoeing in Toronto? Despite what many might think, Toronto is a paddling paradise. Some might say it's an urban canoeists wet dream. In a good day of paddling, the sights you'll likely see over the gunwale of your boat range from gritty urban decay and graffiti murals to hidden beach hideaways and curious wildlife. Toronto has river systems, lakefront beaches, and islands in the stream. Escaping the dull grind of city life is as easy as renting a canoe. Of course, the most frustrating aspect of renting a canoe is getting it from the rental shop to the water.
