On Friday I posted my cycling stats for January 2026 as evidence it's been a pretty decent month. That was then, this is now. That Friday was so cold, I didn't bike. Same for Saturday. Then, Toronto got more snow in one day that any other day of my life.

Brad Bradford wants to be mayor of Toronto, but I'm not happy with his efforts to gain the trust of the electorate. I think he's lying to us. Here's what Brad Bradford posted on his Instagram page yesterday. I'd comment there, but he's limited comments so I'm unable to do

The temperature was around -10°C when I hopped on my bike for a 70KM bike ride. It wasn't going to be 70KM straight, but a round trip with a lengthy (and warm) break in the middle. I was biking to a Kelseys at the border of Burlington and Oakville

They said it would snow all day. That was a lie. Instead, there was some snow last night while I slept, and then rain for most of today. The result is a slushy mixture of mess. It was slippery enough that for the first time this school year, I walked

I just read a CBC article about how Toronto might get 2-4cm of snow today. Accompanying the article is a pretty picture of a cyclist in the snow. I often see such pictures when organizations write about snow in Toronto, and I always zoom in to see if it's me

For the first time in my life, I've cycled over 1000km a month for eight months in a row. If Mother Nature cooperates, I hope to do it again in November!

Earlier this summer, I went off on a bike rack I use outside the Costco in South Etobicoke. Well last night I biked to SVP Sports in Etobicoke and encountered what is actually the most useless of bike racks.

I always bike to concerts at the Budweiser Stage, at least I've been doing so for the past decade. I used to lock my bike up the fence just outside the main gates, but then a bunch of proper bike parking showed up. Much better! When I biked to Barenaked

From CBC: An Ontario court has deemed the province's plan to remove three major Toronto bike lanes unconstitutional. The judge ruled Wednesday that Cycle Toronto and others "have established that removal of the target bike lanes will put people at increased risk of harm and death, which engages the right

When having to cross the QEW on bike, the Ogden Ave pedestrian bridge that took you to Insley Road on the north side of the QEW was always a trusty fave. Then, they closed it and I found alternative routes (Dixie, Hurontario, etc.) As a creature of habit, I just

This summer, I've been biking more Mississauga streets and trails. When you do so, you can't help but notice shared bikes and scooters are seemingly everywhere. I mean, they're just parked there, not at all attached to a bike station or rack. I found the release about the program launch

It was actually over ten years ago that I first blogged about the Idaho stop. In 1982, the state of Idaho made it legal for cyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs. Essentially, if it's safe, you can slow down a little and blow right through the stop sign.

It's 32°C right now in Toronto, but it feels like 42°C, unless you're by the lake. If you're find the heat oppressive and see relief, I'm here to tell you my 40KM bike ride along lake Ontario in the west end of Toronto into Mississauga came with a

If you cycle this city, and lock your bike up outside of stores or restaurants, you know there are good bike racks and bad bike racks. The picture above was taken by yours truly outside the Costco in south Etobicoke. That's where I score my drugs. This style of bike

For the first time in my life, I cycled > 1000 km in the month of April. In April 2025 I racked up a total of 1143.67 km. #biketo

I got a call from my oldest daughter yesterday. She was walking home from a McGill library in Montreal. It was a particularly cold night, and she asked what I was up to... "I just biked Jarvis home from his soccer practice," I said. "Before that I was biking Morgan

It's cold in Toronto right now. Like, real cold.  As I type it's -19 with the windchill. Tomorrow will be -29 with the windchill. As my wife would tell me, those are Edmonton temps! I won't even bike in -29, but I did get in three rides yesterday. You have

I biked more in 2024 than in any other calendar year of my life. I set personal bests for KMs cycled in every month except one. The final tale of the tape had me just missing 14,000km for 2024. My previous best year of cycling was 2023, and I

With 10 days to go... I'll post my final tale of the tape on January 1, 2025.

Bike lanes. I dig them (obviously), but more so for my kids. I like knowing they have safe protected cycling infrastructure, considering I've raised all four to be Toronto cyclists! But for me personally? Whatevs... I biked this city in the 90s. I'll take a lane or whatever, but I'll
