The PED Collective Millie Chen, Andrew Johnson, Joan Linder, Warren Quigley, Paul Vanouse is a full service organization slated to inform, entertain and educate through a range of site-specific bicycle tours designed to reveal layers of a citys life. Engaging a spectrum of professional and amateur narrators to populate audio tracks delivered via bicycle-mounted speakers, PED re-imagines and transforms our experiences of familiar streetscapes.
The Canadian-American collective has now created three audio bike tours through Torontos West Queen West area that examine the citys shifting identities, multi-faceted realities and imagined potentials. "Toronto the Good" incorporates literary and filmic references, "Toronto the Better" focuses on the current streetscape and local culture around the Koffler Gallery neighbourhood, and "Toronto the Best" channels science fiction into a call to action.
Bike tours are available to anyone wishing to ride; bicycles are borrowed and returned free of charge. Government issued photo ID and deposit required
Converted into the PED Station and Museum, the Gallery becomes a bicycle terminal and information hub with multimedia displays featuring a retrospective of past PED projects and a live feed observation centre that extends the outdoor experience and interactive engagement with the city.
