riding in Toronto's second winter

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2017.03.02

My ride to work started with a flat that I deemed a slow leak; I pumped it up and took off into 40kph winds at -9. Then I struggled with the headwinds all the way in, only to find that my lock had frozen shut. So now my bike's in a small space in the building's lobby, and my front wheel's in my office.

But sensation has returned to my fingers!

All this because I've got a Cycle Toronto event at Kingston & Vic Park tonight. I've saved myself $13 in fares, that's enough for dinner.

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.
