This Morning’s Ride

I spend most of my days working for a client in the Bloor and Sherbourne area, which makes for a nice bike run to and from “the office” on the bike pictured above. By taking my bike, I get gym time — the aerobic part, anyway — and an almost cost-free commute, all at once!

Here’s yours truly at the start of the ride:

I had a pretty straight run of green lights from Bloor and Keele all the way to Bloor and Shaw:

…then got a quick look at Christie Pits

…got a good look at the Honest Ed’s sign, because it might not be around for much longer

…and then had a good run of green lights from Bathurst to Bedford.

That’s when I saw this gentleman on his electric bike. C’mon, kid, you’re young, have both legs and seem to be in shape — either get a moped, motorbike or motorized wheelchair, or just stop being lazy and do some actual pedalling! 

From this point on, I can practically coast into the office:
