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....
Date: Monday August 23rd, 2010
Time: Approximately 11:50am
Location: Don Mills Road between Barber Greene Road and Wynford Drive
Direction: Southbound
Story: Cycling southbound approaching Barber Greene RED light....
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...

no thanks
Wouldn't that be like naming the newest Island Ferry "Titanic"? (Apologies if that offended anybody.)
