I pick up my new road bike this week. I'm very excited. The purpose: To start riding to work. I live at Queen and Broadview and work at Progress and McCowan in Scarborough. Now I haven't a clue which is the best route....

Recently, I started running in addition to cycling. I like working my muscles differently than cycling does and I can get my heart rate up more easily I find. (kind of a guess; no HR monitor) I warm-up on uneven flat...

I've had two odd interactions with motorists in the past two days. Yes, it's just anecdotal, but our Wise Leader says that proper statistical techniques aren't necessary, so my random experience must be all good...

sorry you had the flat to delay your arrival, and sharing of the platform, and I had to leave early with the heat. Harbord was an appropriate venue given that it was being worked...

Another route would be to go to the end of Broadview at O'Connor and use Beechwood to get on the trail, then follow the rest of the route suggested by Brian.

When I see most independent window washers at work they tend to drive things like a 1980-something Pontiac wagon, which can't be worth more than a grand anyway.

Hi Rachel! Well done! I would recommend, (as an off-road few-intersectioned route on a fairweather day) riding the Lower Don Trail north from the Queen Stairs, up past the Forks...

"didn't crash at all" I mean energy crash. And the break I take is between the two hills. Not before/after the pair.

No hallucination!
I saw this last night from my Autoshare moving van, but I was very tired. I thought it might be a bike-lane, designed without parallel-parking door-prize surprise no less, but decided it couldn't be either a new lane in this city or designed halfway well. It had to be an error, or a lane for scooters. Only a few hundred km to go!!
They'd better put in pictograms before the motorized world claims it.

Many thanks go to the St. Clair West Bicycle User Group, who have been advocating for this lane for years now. 3 cheers to Councillor Joe Mihevc for listening and working to make it happen. Start writing those letters folks, if you want to see the same happen in your own neighborhood. It certainly can't hurt and in this case, it worked!!!
Just tell 'em Large Marge sent ya!

...your connection to other
...your connection to other human beings and your concern for their welfare have to be manifested personally, practically. Abstractly caring about others is not enough. The most practical and immediate way to begin sharing with others and working for their benefit is to work with your own domestic situation and to expand from there. So an important step in becoming a warrior is to become a family person, someone who respects his or her everyday domestic life and is committed to uplifting that situation."
