Yes, the back to my house uptown. Uptown is awfull when you have to bike from DOWN town. It took me 10 minutes extra to get home. Plus traffic was busy in Toronto at 17:10.

Tomorrow again?

After having driven that bike through Toronto, I think it is a good idea to get a helmet. Eventhough it looks totally retarded and I have never ever wore one before, I think it would be wise to get one. So next week we will focus on Helmets and I welcome your suggestions!

Liam told met the following:

Helmets. A good topic for the week. A helmet saved me while mountain biking two years ago. I fell straight on my head from five feet up when I was crossing over a ditch on a fallen log. I didn't make it across and spent 12 hours in a Barrie, Ontario hospital on a flat board going through a battery of x-rays. Luckily, no damage to my head, just some residual muscle pain for a while. Three months of physio appointments fixed that. The helmet didn't make it. It cracked in half. It took the bullet for me.

Anyone good or bad expereiences with helmets yet?

Let's go to the cyclepath and talk to these guys this weekend and also find out what they think of the Blog.

Today I took that rusty old bike to work. Eventhough it's only 40 minutes to bike, man Toronto is a dangerouws place to ride. I lost track of counting all the put holes I had the avoid while riding on the right side on Avenue down to College. On College going west is ok and they actually have a seperate bike lane.

Sure there are these things you can lock your bike to in Toronto, but where are the bikelanes?

Toronto Bike lock.

Lesson learned: investigate the helmets first. I will need one especially when I get a new faster bike...97 days from today.
