I've always loved cycling, but never before have I had a bike like this:

And boy does it make a world of a difference.

Here's my inaugural ride (excluding the night ride I did last week where I mostly couldn't see where I was going):

The High Park loop was a lot of fun. The entire park is closed to cars on the weekends (though I understand that some people are upset about this feature).

I want to do a ride like this at least once a week, which means I'm probably going to need to get something from Pas Normal Studios to pad my ass. I'm also working my way up to clipless shoes.

Cycling is fun and Toronto is a great city for it.
