See Josh Freed, "Bicycle Bob was years ahead of his time; now we need a Bicycle Bob for our time," Montreal Gazette, 22 September 2007, A2. On one occasion, he dressed as Moses and invited the local media to watch him try to part the Saint Lawrence River to allow cyclists to "escape" the island. Despite the event's comical overtones, his purpose was to embarrass Montreal's transit authority into allowing bicycles on buses that cross city bridges; the city later relented, giving Silverman the status of a folk hero in some circles.
