Shopping happily without a car

Nice.

Toronto definitely has a huge number of utilitarian cyclists. I'm still amazed sometimes when I see little mini-critical-masses downtown. Beautiful.

It's fun seeing shoppers on their bikes. They ride up to where they need to be, lock up, and go inside. The car drivers zoom around fighting for on-street parking (e.g. Bloor St.), then block half the road for a while as they try to back into a space that just opened up. They seem way more frustrated than this woman and her bike with flowers.

Cheers,
Vic
