Dozens of residents were reunited with their bicycles on Saturday, thanks to the help of Toronto police.
Hundreds of bikes recovered from a large-scale theft ring this week were put on display at a Parkdale police station garage.
Police urged anyone who had their two-wheeler stolen to come and look over the bikes to see if theirs was in the hands of police.
More than 30 people had reclaimed their bicycles by Saturday afternoon. Some of the bikes had been missing for more than a year.
Police said more than 50 people were waiting at the garage door when it opened at 10 a.m.
"The third person, a nice lady, yelped within 30 seconds, 'I found my bike, I found my bike!'" Det. Izzy Bernardo told CTV Toronto.
However, others such as Tara Nicholls left disappointed. The university student had her bike of 15 years stolen last month.
"It's kind of part of me and I just want it back because I have a special connection with it," she told CTV Toronto while looking through the pile.
Streetcar driver John Ambraska also left empty-handed. His two-wheeler was double-locked on a busy sidewalk when it was stolen.
"It's not so much the bike, it's the fact that it was my fourth bike," he said.
More bikes found at shop owner's home
The bicycles on display were recovered from the shop and home of a well-known Toronto store owner.
On Friday, police in the downtown west side announced they had recovered hundreds of stolen bikes after executing three search warrants.
Investigators said they launched an investigation on Wednesday after a bicycle police planted was stolen.
Police allege the owner of The Bicycle Clinic told a man to steal nearby bikes with a bolt cutter.
On Thursday, officers executed three search warrants and found the large cache of two-wheelers, as well as some cocaine and marijuana. Some of the bikes were worth as much as $7,000, police said.
Officers found hundreds of more bikes on Friday night after carrying out a raid at the Yorkville home of the shop owner.
The bicycles were found at 38 Berryman St., a one-way road located between Davenport Road and Hazelton Avenue.
Police said the large-scale theft ring is one of the biggest they have ever seen.
Police charged Igor Kenk, 49, and Jean Laveau, 47, with theft, attempted theft, possession of stolen property and possession of burglary tools. The men are in custody pending a bail hearing on Monday.
More charges could be laid against Kenk following Friday night's raid.
Meanwhile, the recovered bikes will remain on display at 9 Hanna St until 6 p.m. Sunday.
Police urge people to bring identification, receipts and any pictures they have on the bike to help prove the two-wheelers are theirs.
Bernardo said bike thieves are successful because so few people take the time to register their bicycles with police.
