Rent a Bike


We were downtown the other day and noticed you can now rent a bike at certain spots. Indeed, we saw a few people riding them about. There was several tourists snapping photos here and there and K thought it was interesting that Toronto is a tourist attraction. Just like how we snap photos when we're on vacation!

Do they have helmets to go with them?

THink the mayor made a mistake, although we all need time with family.

And legislating the amount of pay? That's not normal!
Glad to get my magazines again, though.
Cheers from S.E. Ontario Cottage Country!

Valerie, I know they are common in Europe and North America is trying to follow I guess.

Laurie, I like that simple way, I'm intimidated punching tickets out of machines!

Betsy, thanks for stopping by.

Jenn, no helmets! You always have such insight into current events, I was interested in your thoughts on the mayor not attending the pride parade and on the post office strike. Thanks.

Toronto IS a tourist attraction! We've thought about going there several times (it's just never made it to the top of the list yet).

Hi Christine,
Hope you enjoyed your birthday !
We have that bicycle system here and I might just use it one day
I have recently given my bike away and I do miss it. I dont drive and used to cycle everywhere .It's so busy on the roads now so decided the time to part had come !

This is such a wonderful idea! They should offer something like this for tourist in Hawaii too.
