A big reason winter wears a lot of us down is we don't have a chance to get outside a lot - this past winter I restricted my cycling to getting to work and back, but now that the sun and warmth is with us more, I'm starting up my recreational rides again. :)
I like to take the "long way home" when it's nice out - going west from downtown along College through Little Italy, then down Lansdowne and Queen, eventually going over the pedestrian bridge at Queen & Roncesvalles to the Martin-Goodman Trail. Here are a few pics from that trip yesterday:
I stopped at College & Spadina and tried to photograph cyclists (but my camera is old, and with a shutter delay - so it was pretty hit-and-miss... haha)
I checked out Lansdowne to see if the recent narrowing of the street with bike sharrows had created "traffic chaos" as some Lansdowne residents thought it might: Nope!
I stopped at the controversial bike bollards at the Boulevarde Club to see what the big deal was. I don't think they're that bad. Maybe if you're training for races on the path (which is dumb anyways), but for a casual cyclist - no problem!
It was windy as heck out - here's my new bike, near Ontario Place
I'm lucky the shutter went off at the right time as I zoomed by. :)
The west end of the Queens Quay bikelane - one of my favourite biking views in Toronto - love seeing the CN Tower and line of condos basking in the sun.
I took a bunch more, and you can see them on Flickr.
