Slow paced and introspective, Horner provides us with a series of richly textured tales of his early life as a footloose and fancy free cyclist. We are treated to a bit of history along the way as we learn, for example, that the Black Creek was turned into a flood control channel in the early 60s as a direct response to the devastating Hurricane Hazel that wracked the area a few years earlier. He and his friends get into trouble in the Black Creek, get pinched by a motorcycle cop in High Park, rescue a member of their party from Catfish Pond, get a deal at a police auction and more. In Freewheeling, Horner takes his readers on a walk down Memory Lane as he provides them with well-told tales of some bicycle-related adventures he had while growing up in Toronto.
