I went through an old bin of stuff I've saved for decades, throwing some stuff out and keeping a few priceless gems.
In this bin of memories I found a couple of guides I received 25 years ago. One is entitled "Cycling Skills" and taught me the rules of the road as a young cyclist in this city. I found this little booklet invaluable as a teen navigating the downtown core at all hours of the night.

The other was the 1990 TTC Ride Guide. If I wasn't biking, I was jumping on the subway. I loved the subway and mapped my routes with this handy guide.

Sadly, the TTC Ride Guide isn't much different today as it was in 1990.
