Ironically, as i post this photo, I've just started riding to a new place of work. Much of the same route, with a different ending.

My Commute - Part 5
This is the final photo in my commute to work series. It's so convenient that my work, and the bikeway are so close to the river - it makes for a more scenic ride, and a great start to the workday :)

How Much Is Too Much?
Can anyone tell me how spending 180,000 dollars for a car is a wise financial investment. And that's when it's second-hand!! What did it cost new?!
Granted, a mercedes dealership is not the place to look for reasonable prices, but i still find this incomprehensible.

Bikes Are Art
Artists in Toronto are using discarded bikes as outdoor art. With a small garden on each one, they are colourful, and reflect a "spirit of regeneration and community".

Boost The Local Economy
The people at GOOD analysed the numbers and put together a great graphic illustrating how much of our car costs leak out of the local economy (illustrated in red).
Furthermore, they worked out that if a city could reduce its number of cars by 15,000 it would boost the local economy by over 127 million dollars. Sounds good to me!
