Okay, so after work I rode my bike home in the rain. I pretty much had a t-shirt and pants on.
So, as I was riding up along spadina, I noticed a *flash*. Someone took a picture of me while I was on my bike. Whatever, I’ll just ignore that. I came across a red light and as I was waiting, another *flash*. This time, I actually got a glimpse of the driver. She was in her early 50′s, in business attire, she kinda seem like a stuck up person. I gave her a confused/wtf glance. It was really hard to get a clear picture of her face because it was dark and rainy.
So, I wonder why she took a picture of me. I didn’t do anything wrong, I was on the bike path, had my front/rear lights on….(i wasn’t wearing a helmet…)
I guess i’m famous, or maybe she has never seen an asian on a bike before.
Who knows.

Dear Diary,
It was a rainy day in pizzaville….

I almost got run over by a taxi driver. I just want an accident free-year. Or just a non-’let me take a look at your license plate’ free year.

OH. Like me, anybody that rides north/south of Toronto, Yonge street is actually a really good street to ride on. This one night, when the winds were 45km/hr, I was forced to find a different route home. So I thought, why not give bathurst street a go. And to tell you the truth, I regret taking that street all the way home. Seriously, the worst, most ghetto street of all. It was so dark, the side of the road were filled with rocks/clumps of dirt/broken glass…. It was horrible.
So really, Yonge street is better(and faster). Don’t let the amount of cars intimidate you. Plus, if you do get hit (and i hope not) and embarrassing it can get….you’ll always have a witness.

Ride safe!

….its official

MY FIRST BLOG.
Anyways, I think there’s a TTC strike on the 1st of April. I know a friend that knows someone that works for the TTC and says that there’s a good chance.
WHICH MEANS, I’ll be riding my bike to school/work on April 1st, the latest.
I hope to see more riders (forced to ride) out there.

Wait for it….
