In back-to-back social media posts, Blue Rodeo frontman Jim Cuddy posted a video praising Winnipeg as “a special city” — and a photo of a band member’s bike that was stolen at The Forks.
Guitarist Jimmy Bowskill’s bicycle — a red compact Dahon folding bike — was stolen sometime on Friday, Oct. 17. The veteran Toronto roots band performed at the Burton Cummings Theatre on Oct. 16 and 17.
“If you see it around or come across anyone selling a Dahon bike that seems suspicious, please reach out to us. It’s very distinctive and holds a lot of personal value. Please share — any help getting it back would mean a lot,” the band posted to Facebook and Instagram.
If the theft soured the band on Winnipeg, it didn’t show. On the same day as the stolen bike post, Cuddy posted a video of himself walking through the Exchange, admiring the city’s stock of heritage buildings.
“I think a lot of cities could learn from the preservation of fine old things in Winnipeg,” he said.
He also posted another video complimenting the roti at Famena’s Famous Roti & Curry on Garry Street.
Blue Rodeo is celebrating its 40th anniversary with its Lost Together cross-Canada tour. The group played Brandon’s Keystone Centre on Saturday night and plays the Burt a third time tonight.
