Original Toronto Star caption: Downhill racers: They came on bikes, trikes, and even on roller skates yesterday to ride for kids who can't in the 8th annual Variety Club of Ontario bike-a-thon. On Grenwood Ave. south of Danforth, entrants took a break from pedalling - and skating - to coast and catch a breather. An estimated 28,000 persons took part including Harri Kivilo, who completed the course on wheeled skis.
