Where in Toronto's art district?

McBride Cycles, of 2923 Dundas Street West in Toronto, sold Royal Enfields from 1949 to 1959. Even when they stopped selling Enfields, they remained an Enfield friendly store, trying to get parts for the bikes and keeping the records of all the Enfields  they sold for people who wanted to trace a particular bike. They also donated a collection of 1930's brochures to the UK Royal Enfield Owners club. Due to a family feud, they went bankrupt in 2006. There is a new cycle shop there, across the street from where Mc Bride cycle used to be, which brands itself as offering the art of the motorcycle in the art district. They sell Kymco and Husqvarna.
