fixing bikes in the park

This Spring, I took a bike repair course; today I put it to practice by once again repairing people's bikes. It's good fun, when you can help someone and at the same time spread the word about your organization. In my case, it's Cycle Toronto, and our mission is to improve the lot of cyclists in Toronto.

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
