I've never seen Dr. Doolittle with Eddie Murphy. When it came out in 1998, I was just too old for such silliness. Even though Norm Macdonald voices a dog in the flick, that wasn't enough to lure me in. My 7-year-old was watching Dr. Doolittle yesterday, and I popped in
Every KM I bike is outdoors on actual roads and trails. I like to get out there and explore the city, experience the elements, see what's shakin' in the T-Dot. I'll bike in freezing cold temps, snow storms, rain, wind and during heat waves. There is only one weather condition
